The Orioles are "working hard on landing" Joe Saunders, according to ESPN's Jim Bowden. The report refutes intel from the Baltimore Sun's Dan Connolly earlier in the day that stated Baltimore was not targeting Saunders. Baltimore desperately needs a starter and Saunders, even at 9-10 with a 4.65 ERA, might fit the bill. The Orioles are also aggressively pursuing Bud Norris.
