Orioles sign Taiwanese LHP Wei-Yin Chen

The Baltimore Orioles and Wei-Yin Chen -- a Taiwanese left-handed starting pitcher -- have agreed to a three-year deal, according to MLB.com.

Chen has spent the last four seasons playing in Japan, going 38-30 with a 2.48 ERA. His fastball is said to come in at the low- to mid-nineties, and he also uses a "slurve," of which he has great command.
