BALTIMORE — Prior to the start of Saturday’s game against Detroit, the Orioles announced the signing of right-handed pitcher Jon Rauch to a minor-league deal to add relief pitching depth to the organization.

The 34-year-old Rauch will report to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday and posted a 3.59 earned run average and 16 holds in 73 appearances with the New York Mets last year. He was released by the Marlins last month after posting a 7.56 ERA in 16 2/3 innings.

The 11-year veteran has a 3.90 career ERA in 556 career appearances in the big leagues.

Per CBS MLB insider Jon Heyman, Rauch has a June 18 opt-out clause with his minor-league agreement. The club would then have 48 hours to promote him to the majors or the veteran could become a free agent.

His next stage production at The BMA begins on March 5th and Dan Rodricks returns to Gertrude's for the holidays to take Nestor back to his Aparicio roots with the 1966 Baltimore Orioles winning the World Series – and the realities of the city, race, politics and a colorful upcoming show "No Mean City: Baltimore 1966."

What could two Dundalk teachers with 105 years of experience possibly still teach us about science and music?

It didn't even seem possible that colleagues Calvin Statham (59 years) and George Scheulen (46 years). who once taught Nestor at Holabird Junior High School in 1979, could still be teaching him about the important things in life beyond chorus and physics all these years later. Two beloved Baltimore County educators continue trying to tame their rambunctious student for the holidays with music and love (and crab cakes) at Costas Inn in Dundalk.

Johnny O on the lack of progress and Trump chaos and chicanery in Washington

We're all fed up and should be. Congressman Johnny Olszewski joined Nestor to discuss the lack of focus and progress on Capitol Hill and potential solutions for health care, transparency in government and the use of Trump's absurd pardons as a grifting tool.
