Vimael Machín, who followed up three seasons with the Oakland Athletics with a year in Mexico, is set to join the Baltimore Orioles when Spring Training begins in February.
Machín, 31, spent this past season with the Charros de Jalisco in the Mexican League. Last year, he suited up for the Philadelphia Phillies' Triple-A affiliate in Lehigh Valley, but left for Mexico midseason.
Machín was immediately traded to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for cash considerations, though. The A's then gave Machín a shot in the big leagues, and he wound up appearing in 112 MLB contests over the next three seasons. If the Orioles are looking at Machín as a serious candidate to snag a spot on their major league roster, he will surely have to show them that he is more than the player he was in Oakland.
