Get Me Out of Baltimore!
Adam Loewen lied to the Baltimore Orioles to get out of his contract. I know Baltimore's not the greatest place to play right now, but that's pretty low.
I'm not sure I believe this story. If there was a verbal agreement then why didn't they have it written up before he became a free agent? How much later did he sign with the Blue Jays? Did the Orioles really not see that as a possibility? Were the Blue Jays offering more money? More opportunity? The Orioles are a pretty bad organization and I tend to believe a player over them.
Hey it worked for Manny Ramirez -
