Gregg’s agent, Danny Horwits, said six or seven teams were involved in serious negotiations at various points during the winter.
“Baltimore, for Kevin, has a lot of pluses,” Horwits said.
“One is all the acquisitions that they’ve made. Kevin is real excited about Mark Reynolds and J.J. Hardy and Derrek Lee. He wanted to be part of that.

And his wife has family in the area, as well.
“These were all factors in why he thought it was a good fit.”
