MAZZONE ACCEPTS DEAL!
Take it for what it's worth, but ESPN.com and a few others are reporting that the Orioles and Leo Mazzone have agreed to terms - Source: Mazzone accepts deal to join Orioles
This is awesome news for the Orioles. For someone so highly regarded with being able to turn average talent into decent players and just someone that's been through great pitchers in Maddux, Smoltz and Glavine during their Cy Young award years, it's just amazing knowing that he'll be in the Orioles dugout for the next few years. And with him on board, the chances of the Orioles being able to lure one of the top free agent pitchers increases dramatically. Say hello to AJ Burnett or Kevin Millwood, hopefully.
