Not that Gonzalez

The Orioles have signed infielder Andy Gonzalez to a minor league deal, though the veteran did not get an invitation to big league spring training. Gonzalez, 28, saw action in 14 games with the Florida Marlins last season, going 1-for-12. He has played a total of 91 games in the big leagues, also having stints with the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians.
