According to Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun, the Orioles are highly unlikely to sign Josh Hamilton. FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal and CBS Sports' Jon Heyman have both pegged the O's as a possible suitor for Hamilton, but Encina -- who is around the team's decision-makers more frequently -- can't see it happening. "Here's what you need to know," writes the Baltimore beat man. "Hamilton's stats and position are a definite fit for the Orioles. The money Hamilton likely will command and the baggage that goes with him is not."
