Possible match between O’s and Chicago White Sox?
ESPN's Jayson Stark is reporting the Chicago White Sox are listening to offers for OF Carlos Quentin and P Gavin Floyd. Might there be a match here with Baltimore? I would be fine starting 2010 with a rotation of Matusz, Guthrie, Arrieta, Bergesen, and Tillman. I am...
O’s on verge of obtaining JJ Hardy?
According to The Baltimore Sun, and the Minneapolis Star Tribune, The Orioles are set to have obtained their 2nd major upgrade of the off-season with the addition of SS JJ Hardy from the Minnesota Twins....
