Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports that the Orioles will eventually discuss an extension with manager Buck Showalter, though it's "not a priority" right now. With the Orioles fighting for their playoff lives, we should hope not. A high-ranking O's official told Kubatko that Showalter has done "a fantastic job and (his contract) will be taken up in due course. We don't want him to leave. We want him to stay and he's going to stay. He's a special guy." It's hard to argue given what the O's are doing despite a lack of talent on their roster. Showalter isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
