Everth Cabrera – Utility, $2,400,000

The former Padre is now with the Baltimore Orioles looking to get his career back on track. A shortstop by trade, Everth Cabrera would be fully capable of playing there or at 3B or 2B should the need arise. His speed (99 SBs from 2012-14) would also be viewed as a valuable option to pinch run off the bench in a tight situation.
Cabrera was an All-Star in 2013 who experienced a breakout year before being linked to the Biogenesis scandal and PEDs in that same season. As a result, he ended up serving a 50-game suspension and was not able to get his game back to the same level in 2014. The Orioles are hoping he can provide suitable insurance for Machado and youngster Jonathan Schoop at second base in 2015.
