Right-hander and the Orioles have agreed to a deal, per Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com . The righty will report to Triple-A Norfolk. Earlier today, Walt Frazier Jersey Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reported that the righty had elected free agency. He was designated for a signment by the Cubs last week but pa sed through waivers unclaimed. It was just over a week ago that Nittoli elected free agency after he was outrighted by the Athletics. That led to him signing a major league deal with the Cubs, though he was bounced off the roster one day later without appearing in a game as the Cubs selected . Hes out of options and also has the right to reject outright a signments by virtue of having previously been outrighted in his career, with both of those factors contributing to his many transactions in recent days. The 33-year-old Nittoli signed a minor league deal with the As in the offseason and started the season pitching well in Triple-A. He to sed 23 1/3 innings for Sacramento, allowing 2.70 earned runs per nine. His 11% walk rate was on the high side but he also struck out 36% of batters faced and got grounders on 45.1% of balls in play. He may have benefited from an 82.7% strand rate but was also pitching in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League and allowed a .347 batting average on balls in play. That got him called up to the big leagues and he continued putting up good numbers, allowing just two earned runs in eight innings pitched for the As. He only punched out 15.6% of major league hitters but in a small sample of work. Despite that fairly solid performance, he lost his roster spot with Oakland and has been in suitcase mode for over a week now, thanks to getting that Cubs deal but then promptly being DFAd again. For the Os, theres no real risk in bringing him aboard via a minor league deal and getting an up-close look at him. As mentioned, he was racking up strikeouts in bunches in Triple-A earlier this year. This is his fourth straight season with MLB work but hes never had a lengthy stretch in the show, currently with just 14 2/3 total innings on his rsum from those four seasons. In 159 Triple-A innings since the start of 2021, he has a 4.19 ERA. His 29.8% strikeout rate in that time is strong and his 8.3% walk rate close to average, but his 29 home runs allowed have pushed the ERA up. If he can earn his way onto Baltimores roster, his grip on a spot may be tenuous, as it was with the As and Cubs. Though if he happens to have a roster spot at seasons end, he can be retained well into the future since he has le s than a year of service time. Kristaps Porzingis Jersey
