Here’s how newly-signed infielder Rougned Odor could fit with the Orioles in 2022 | ANALYSIS
Rougned Odor’s signing may be underwhelming considering teams that have been living at the bottom of the league in recent years like the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers are shelling out nine-figure deals to shortstops, but the Orioles signed a hard-contact specialist who could make an impact.

Orioles nearing deal with free-agent infielder Rougned Odor
A career .234 hitter with a lifetime .722 OPS, Odor had a .665 OPS and 15 home runs last season in 102 games with the New York Yankees. He has a long track record of consistent hard contact when he connects, but also uncomfortably high strikeout rates.

Photo by Adam Hunger/ Your program after 40-man cutdown day. The busy section of the offseason continued last night, as the deadline to protect players on the 40-man roster came and went. For those unaware, minor-league players that accrue enough time on the farm must be placed on the 40-man, or else become eligible to be selected in the Rule-5 Draft (Garrett Whitlock stands as the most recent example of a Yankee farmhand lost to this process). The deadline claimed Clint Frazier, Rougned Odor, and Tyler Wade as casualties, while prospects like Oswaldo Cabrera and...

Judge can hit free agency after 2022, which will be his age-30 season. There’s surely mutual desire to keep this marriage together, but...

Rougned Odor DFA’d by Yankees
Photo by Maddie Meyer/ Former Ranger Rougned Odor has been designated for assignment If you were one of those who was sad when the Rangers designated Rougned Odor for assignment seven-and-a-half months ago, and didn’t want to see him go, I have some good news for you... The New York Yankees have designated Rougned Odor for assignment. The Yankees have seven days to waive, trade or release Odor. He will most likely clear waivers and be released, making him a free agent. And then the Rangers can bring him back! Odor, 27, was traded by the Rangers to the Yankees in...

Yankees designate Frazier, Wade, Odor for assignment
Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports In a move to clear space on the 40-man roster, the Yankees have parted ways with Clint Frazier, Tyler Wade, Rougned Odor, Nick Nelson, and Donny Sands. Just after the deadline to set their 40-man roster, the New York Yankees announced that they have designated Clint Frazier, Rougned Odor, and Tyler Wade for assignment. Frazier, a former top prospect, struggled to carve out a role for himself and battled injuries and poor performance this past season. In just 66 games in 2021, Frazier slashed .186/.317/.317 with an 83 wRC+ and -0.9...

Yankees 2021 Roster Report Cards: Rougned Odor
Photo by Jim McIsaac/ Odor proved his reputation as a flawed, inconsistent hitter is accurate, but he also recorded a number of go-ahead runs and was highly entertaining to watch in 2021. In early April, the Yankees traded for Rangers infielder Rougned Odor in a deal that saw Texas absorb nearly all of the $27 million still owed to Odor as part of the six-year contract extension he signed with the club in 2017. Despite being a gratis addition to the roster, the trade didn’t make a ton of sense at the time. The Yankees already had two second basemen in Gleyber Torres...
