The Boston Globe is reporting that the Orioles have placed closer Mike Gonzalez on waivers. Gonzalez has only appeared in 12 games this season, but is already 0-2 with a 4.91 ERA. Gonzalez owns a career 2.65 ERA in over 300 career appearances, so his ability to command the strike zone should not be questioned.
Putting Gonzalez in a winning environment could change his slow start, but the 32 year old may be tough to move now considering he has 6 million dollars remaining on his contract after this season.
