Heston Kjerstad

The deal also includes a $25,000 bonus if Carlson reaches 200 plate appearances. The 26-year-old former top prospect was non-tendered by the Rays back in November after hitting .219/.299/.316 with three homers, 14 RBI, two steals, and a 38/10 K/BB ratio in 127 plate appearances following his acquisition from the Cardinals at the trade deadline. With the Rays moving on, the Orioles will now give Carlson a chance to compete in spring training with Daz Cameron and top prospect Heston Kjerstad for their fourth outfielder. With Kjerstad also being able to play first base, Carlson might just compete with Cameron as two former top prospects look to get another chance with a new team. It's hard to take a chance on either of them in fantasy leagues given that playing time is likely to be minimal.
