Fowler agreed to a three-year contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

EDGE Analysis

In a move that had seemingly been in the works for weeks, the Orioles solidified their outfield Tuesday by inking Fowler to a three-year deal worth $35 million, according to ESPN's Buster Olney. Fowler not only brings solid defense to the Orioles' outfield, but he also gives them a high OBP option for the top of the lineup that is a better base runner than anyone else on Baltimore's roster. Once the deal is finalized, Fowler figures to start Opening Day as the Orioles' right fielder.

Fowler is expected to sign with the Orioles and play right field, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles and Fowler are discussing a 2-3 year contract that would pay $12-13 million per season. Fowler hit .250/.346/.411 with 17 home runs in a career year in 2015 with the Cubs, and he will represent a major upgrade over Ryan Flaherty and Mark Trumbo in right field for Baltimore if the deal indeed goes through.

Fowler might be drawing interest from the Orioles, though the team has also been linked to other outfield options.

EDGE Analysis

The notion here is that if the Orioles close the deal with Yovani Gallardo and forfeit their 14th overall pick, they might be more inclined to forfeit a lesser pick to upgrade their outfield. At first glance, such an outfield spot seems readily available.

Fowler is under pursuit by the Cubs and White Sox as he remains a free agent, CBS Chicago reported Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The sources cited still expect the Cubs to be Fowler's most likely destination, but Fowler would make sense for the White Sox, as his presence would allow Adam Eaton to move to right field and for the struggling Avisail Garcia to head to the bench. With the way the outfield market has developed, Fowler is unlikely to receive more than a one or two-year contract, which could fit perfectly into the White Sox's miserly budget.

Fowler turned down the Cubs' qualifying offer Friday and will remain a free agent, Patrick Mooney of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler suffered a bit of a dip in average but enjoyed a resurgence in his power and speed en route to hitting 17 homers and swiping 20 bases. He'll be 30 by the start of the 2016 season but should still command a multi-year deal on the free agent market and the Cubs will get a compensatory draft pick if he signs elsewhere.

Fowler was given a qualifying offer by the Cubs on Friday, Patrick Mooney of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler set a career-high mark in the power department, launching 17 homers while also swiping 20 bases, though his average dropped to a personal-worst .250. The 29-year-old had a solid postseason as well, but he is expected to decline the qualifying offer, worth $15.8 million this season, in order to test the market.

Fowler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler had a day off four days ago, but there's likely not more to make of this than Fowler just getting an unexpected rest day. Austin Jackson will take his place as center fielder, batting leadoff.

Fowler is not in the starting lineup Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It appears to be just a typical day off for the center fielder as the Cubs gear up for their likely wild card matchup against the Cardinals or Pirates. Austin Jackson will take over in the outfield and hit second in the lineup, with Kyle Schwarber getting the chance to leadoff for only the second time in his short career.

Fowler is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

It's a rare day off for Fowler, who is one of several non-righties to see the bench Saturday against Cardinals starter Michael Wacha. Yes, Wacha is right-handed, but his career splits have him clearly more effective against left-handed hitters, so this is a move from Joe Maddon playing the statistics. Austin Jackson will get the start in center field.

Fowler went 1-for-5 with an RBI double in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler extended his hitting streak to seven games and has reached base safely in 12 of 14 September contests. Although his batting average has experienced a slight regression in his first season in Chicago, Fowler has set a career best in homers and is currently posting the third highest number of doubles of his eight-year career, while also contributing eighteen steals. The veteran outfielder has additionally worked a career-high 75 walks, making him a solid table setter for the Cubs the majority of the season.
