Throughout the next several weeks, we'll be looking at some prospective free agents the Orioles may be interested in. Not surprisingly, most of them are pitchers.
R.A. Dickey
Vital stats: Dickey will be 43 Oct. 29. The right-hander has pitched 15 years in the major leagues with the Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays and Atlanta Braves. In 2017, Dickey was 10-10 with a 4.26 ERA in 31 starts with the Braves.
Orioles connection: Dickey pitched for manager Buck Showalter with the Rangers from 2003-2006. Dickey credits Showalter for turning his career around by insisting he primarily throw the knuckleball.
