Starting pitcher Kyle Gibson of Greenfield, Indiana is joining the Baltimore Orioles for a second time. On Friday, according to Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors, the Orioles signed Gibson to a one year deal worth $5.25 million with another $1.525 million in performance bonuses. A major reason why the Orioles signed Gibson is because they put starting pitcher Kyle Bradish of Peoria, Arizona on the 60 day injury list. Bradish is still recovering from elbow surgery he had during last year.
