Orioles: Moeller explained

Via Ravens Insider  |  October 30, 2009
Most of you probably know this already, but I thought I'd clarify the Chad Moeller situation for anyone who didn't get to the end of Jeff Zrebiec's story on the subject. The Orioles declined his $850,000 major league option yesterday, but that does not mean he will not return as Matt Wieters backup next season.

Hendrickson Hopes To Re-Sign With O's Quickly

Via MLB Trade Rumors  |  October 30, 2009
Once the World Series ends, teams get an exclusive 15-day window to negotiate with their own free agents before they truly hit the open market, and as Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun notes, lefthander Mark Hendrickson hopes the Orioles take advantage of that window. "We won't wait just for the purpose of waiting," said Joe Urbon of CAA Sports. "They have...

O's: Soft news is good news

Via Ravens Insider  |  October 31, 2009
This is the lull before the storm. This is the time when major league front office people tie up loose ends, take a few days off and catch their breath before offseason begins in earnest following the World Series. That's why the biggest baseball headline in The Sun today is about negotiations with reliever/swingman Mark Hendrickson, who almost certainly will re-sign with...
