Damn, that was the report just a few days ago. I wonder what happens to the rest of his coaching staff and his Colombian connections now.

Lowe to Cleveland. Things moving quick.

[Clapp]

Chapman with shoulder pain in the AFL.

[funkster]

No real surprise there. Think he had some issues earlier this past season too didn't he?

[Clapp]

CC just got paid by the Yankees and stuff.

RT @Buster_ESPN: Sabathia's contract extension - 1-year, $25 m. for 2016, and a $5 million buyout. Total guaranteed, five years, $122 m.. $25m option '17

So now that all credible candidates have turned down the O's GM job, they're moving onto their 2nd tier candidates. It would hilarious if Hahn ended up replacing McPhail. Good luck.

#The Orioles would like to interview Dodgers GM Ned Colletti if he leaves Los Angeles, according to [url="http://www.masnsports.com/school_of_roch/2011/11/more-on-the-expanded-gm-search.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter"]Kubatko[/url].



#The Orioles have requested permission to interview Andrew Friedman of the Rays, Rick Hahn of the White Sox and Mike Radcliff of the Twins, according to Kubatko (on [url="http://twitter.com/#%21/masnRoch/status/131886937605799938"]Twitter[/url]).

Braves are listening to offers for Jurrjens. I wish we had the prospects to get him.

They'll totally get Friedman. I wonder if Friedman will even bother.

And if we somehow landed both Maddux's to manage/coach, I'd feel pretty good about being able to keep him healthy long-term.

Sox just signed Donnie Veal.

Wrote the following thinking you asked "who" not "how".



Veal's a pitcher who had Tommy John surgery not to long ado. Used to a Cub's prospect. Can't recall if he was drafted in the first rounder or second.
