After several days of ironing out the details, the Orioles have finalized an agreement with infielder Everth Cabrera.

According to CBS Sports, the sides have agreed to a one-year, $2.4 million contract that includes $600,000 in incentives. News first broke about a potential deal last week, but final details needed to be ironed out and the former San Diego Padres infielder is expected to be in Sarasota to complete the signing on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old has experienced plenty of highs and lows in his six-year major league career, ranging from an All-Star appearance in 2013 to a 50-game suspension that same season for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal. Cabrera has also experienced problems off the field, being arrested for a domestic violence incident before the charge was dismissed in 2012 as well as a resisting arrest charge for suspicion of driving under the influence of marijuana last fall.

The addition of Cabrera is interesting in how it impacts second baseman Jonathan Schoop and incumbent utility man Ryan Flaherty. It is worth nothing that Cabrera does have a minor-league option remaining, but he brings more experience than either of the other two.

In 2013, Cabrera hit .283 with four home runs, 31 runs batted in, and 37 stolen bases before being suspended. His numbers fell off dramatically a year ago as he batted only .232 and posted a .572 on-base plus slugging percentage.
