Nelson Cruz to Baltimore: 1 year, $8 million

Nelson Cruz to the Baltimore Orioles: according to reports on Twitter, free agent outfielder Nelson Cruz has agreed on a one year, $8 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles, with another $750,000 in possible incentives.

All I really have to say about that is, if that is really all it cost to land Cruz, I'm very disappointed that the Rangers weren't willing to do that.
