Athletics acquire Homer Bailey

I remember when he and Jay Bruce were supposed to lead the Reds to the promise land. Oh well

As an insurance policy type of signing?  Sure, why not.  Maybe one year $2.5 million.  My guess is he will fill out someone’s rotation for about $5 million however.  

That's my guess too, but I thought the same of Gio last year and he settled for maybe a minor-league deal even.

The A's apparently have some ability to reduce a player's suckage. I would not expect the same results if the Angels signed him. 

For whatever reason the quote above made me think of this "you're unlucky"
