Bear in mind outsiders to the OH could say the same thing about our own Bigbird and Belkast ...

No offense to them, but I ask the same question. If you wanted to publize something wouldn't you give it to a local paper or TV station?

If you wanted to float a rumor or test waters, why not tell a poster on a message board?

Not to say they are wrong, but you can't accept everything you hear as fact.

DISCLAIMER, the following post is to try and prove a point:

Sources have confirmed that the Baltimore Orioles have increased their offer to 10/$200M, casting away all doubt about their hopes of landing the most coveted position player in this year's Free Agent market.

... see, anyone can do it, it doesn't mean anything. :rolleyes:

Fun while it lasted I guess.

It's not time to throw in the white towel. This is some website that no one knows if they are credible or not. There have not been any other reports yet. "Agree to Principle" can mean anything. For all we know, it means they have agreed and submitted an offer like this that they feel is fair and that is it.

Ain't over yet.

Schmuck has a new blog article talking about the FA's we've talked to, I'm just gonna paste the whole thing anyways.

"While the Orioles front office waits around to find out if Mark Teixeira has any real interest in playing in Baltimore, club president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail continues to go about the business of trying to put together a balanced roster by the opening of training camp.

Along with the ongoing negotiations for pitchers Braden Looper, Tim Redding and Kenshin Kawakami, the Orioles have made overtures to non-tendered Cardinals utilityman Aaron Miles and veteran pitcher Mark Hendrickson (right).

"There certainly is some interest,'' Hendrickson's agent, Joe Urbon, told Sun baseball writer Jeff Zrebiec. "We’ve talked to the Orioles. I talked to Andy [MacPhail] directly at the winter meetings and we’ve had subsequent conversations. We’re just trying to find out if that is the right fit for him. They are definitely on the list."

Hendrickson wouldn't mind playing near his York, Pa., home, but he's more interested in getting back into a major league starting rotation, which should make the Orioles more attractive.

"Mark feels like he had a great start to the season last year,'' Urbon said. "He had a mediocre to poor middle part of the season and he started to get back on track and the Marlins went in a different direction. He’s got a lot to prove [as a starter], but he also knows that he can be successful coming out of the pen in a lot of roles."
