Lost in all the news about the Eagles was a move the Phillies made on Friday when they finally got rid of Adam Eaton. Despite owing him another 9 million dollars, the Phils chose to eat salary and waived Eaton, ending his illustrious Philadelphia career. Eaton spent two years with the Phils and finished 14-18 with an ERA in the high 5's. He played absolutely no role in the Phillies championship run.
Shockingly, another major league club was willing to pick up Eaton. The Baltimore Orioles, obviously desperate for pitching help, signed Eaton to a minor league deal. The Orioles invited him to Spring Training and even expect Eaton to compete for a spot in the starting rotation. If he makes the team at all, the Orioles will officially be the worst team in baseball.
The Phillies will still be on the hook to pay Eaton for this season but they have to look at it as addition by subtraction. Eaton may go down as one of the worst free agent signings in not only Phillies history but also in the entire history of baseball. I guess 24 million doesn't buy what it used to.

How would Eaton making the 40 man roster make the O's the worst team in baseball? Yeah he did not do good with the Philly's, but at least we signed him for a minor league contract. I'm sure a lot more teams in the MLB have a worse vet pitchers in their organization then Eaton. Not like a high 5 era is absolutely horrible, not good, bot not horrible. He would just be a inning eater in case of a injury.

You obviously haven't watched Eaton as closely as us Phillies fans, he is an absolute waste. If the Orioles are so bad that he makes the team then you can bet another last place finish is in order. Eaton is horrible!
