Orioles Sign Reluctant Knight
Third baseman Ray Knight, rebuffed on the free agent market, reluctantly agreed to contract terms today with the Baltimore Orioles.
The 34-year-old veteran, paid $600,000 by the New York Mets last season, when he was named the Most Valuable Player in the World Series, accepted an offer of $475,000 for a one-year contract. Should Knight reached various goals, however, he could earn another $125,000 in incentive bonuses and automatically kick in an option year. Knight previously indicated he made a mistake by not accepting an $800,000 offer from the Mets for a one-year pact.
