Orioles Will **t Sign Grant Balfour
The Orioles will **t sign Grant Balfour (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/balfogr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com), executive vice president Dan Duquette told reporters, including Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com (Twitter link (https://twitter.com/masnRoch/status/414124281358852097)). The Baltimore Sun's Dan Con**lly quotes Duquette (via Twitter (https://twitter.com/dancon**llysun/status/414124518479642624)) as saying:*"We would never say never or close the door, but we're going to turn our attention elsewhere."*Duquette said the Orioles could look to sign a**ther free agent, trade for a closer or stay in-house for the closer, but they're **t done adding pitching or other pieces (also via Con**lly (https://twitter.com/dancon**llysun/status/414127213152174080)).
The Orioles agreed to terms with Balfour on a two-year, $15MM contract earlier this week, but problems with the physical placed the contract in jeopardy. With him out of the picture, the Orioles have reportedly begun to focus on Fernando Rodney (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rodnefe01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com), with whom they should be plenty familiar following two excellent season with the division rival Rays.
