Re: MLB- WINTER MEETING NEWS & RUMORS
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 despite the fact that he's currently 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. "That's nobodies fault, but I'm figuring I need as many guys as I can to get through the year. I'm not a believer that if you have three guys for three positions, you're all set. We know that you need to have four or five for three positions and maybe you're set. I don't look at that as a logjam at all." Quote:
