Baltimore Sun: O’s eye pitchers at start of meetings

Team officials met with the Texas Rangers on Monday to discuss a potential deal for veteran pitcher Kevin Millwood, and Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail also confirmed that the team is in possession of the medical records of free-agent starter Erik Bedard.

MacPhail will meet with Bedard’s agent, Mark Pieper, in the next couple of days to discuss bringing back the team’s former ace…

According to sources, [in a Millwood trade] the Orioles would want the cash-strapped Rangers to absorb some of that money, and the amount Texas is willing to eat would determine the player they would get in return for the pitcher… While one team source said a deal between the clubs isn’t imminent, he described the trade talks as “ongoing.”

In various trade talks with clubs Monday, MacPhail said that teams have inquired about “no shortage of names” on the Orioles. Several team sources identified outfielder Felix Pie as having drawn a lot of inquiries.

However, MacPhail didn’t sound like he was motivated to move Pie, who is expected to enter the season as the club’s fourth outfielder.

“Pie, [Nolan] Reimold and [Adam] Jones haven’t played full seasons healthy yet,” MacPhail said.
