Orioles admit signing Swango was a mistake
Baltimore manager Paul Richards said the Orioles erred in signing bonus baby pitcher John Bruce Swango. The club put him on waivers to clear roster space for Ed Lepat, with Swango guaranteed a $36,000 bonus paid in three installments. Only Orioles paid more than the $4,000 prospect premium, and Swango never played. Richards criticized Swango’s nerves and warned he may never reach the majors. He defended scout Claude Dietrich, noting he has signed other strong prospects.
