Red Sox Acquire Andrew Bailey

Why would a team stuck in the bottom of their division, with a bad farm system trade for a closer like this? It's not a good use of resources at all.

Because it would have put the Orioles best pitcher from last year into the rotation?

So make someone else the "closer" why does every team need a premium name closer. The position is a myth, and spending a lot of resources on them is a waist especially if they have no chance of competing.

I agree, but the other option is Kevin Gregg, another waste of money/space for the Orioles.
