LEFT-HANDER Chen Wei-yin of Chinese Taipei and the Baltimore Orioles have agreed to a three-year contract worth US$11,338,000, a move aimed at improving a starting rotation that struggled last year.
Chen went 36-30 with a 2.48 ERA in 117 games, including 88 starts, over the last four seasons with the Chunichi Dragons of Japan's Central League. The 26-year-old will become the first Orioles player born in Chinese Taipei. Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette says Chen has "exceptional command" with a 148-150 kph fastball and a hard breaking ball as his "out pitch." Chen gets a US$250,000 signing bonus and salaries of US$3,072,000 this year, US$3,572,000 in 2013 and US$4,072,000 in 2014. The Orioles have a US$4.75 million option for 2015 with a US$372,000 buyout.
