    So does this mean that we need to try to sign Nate before the world series ends?

    What about options?

    No... free agents have six days to exclusively negotiate with their 2012 clubs... after the sixth day, they can then sign with anyone.

    So, the O's have six days after the end of the World Series to re-sign McLouth.
