Vladimir Guerrero finally has a team to call his own, and the Baltimore Orioles have a badass cleanup hitter. Everybody's happy.
The two sides agreed to a one-year contract this weekend, apparently worth $8 million. Of course, nothing is final since the deal hasn't been announced yet.
The free agent slugger, sitting at 436 career home runs over 15 big league seasons, hit .300 last year with 29 longballs and 115 RBI for the American League Champion Texas Rangers. If the 36-year-old passes his physical, he will most likely become Baltimore’s designated hitter.
Best of luck to the Sporting News AL Comeback Player of the Year (turning 36 on February 9) on passing his physical and continuing on his road to The 500 Club.

I think he should have gone out on top as the SN Comeback Player of the Year... no way he'll have that good of a year again at his age.
"Everybody's happy."
Yep. Until he breaks a hip.
Love the "old people" tag. :)
Loved Vlad in Texas. Also sad about him leaving.
Man... The Rangers are making me sad all over! I'm such a douche.
