Cal Ripken recently approached the Orioles about a front-office job and was turned down by principal owner Peter G. Angelos, according to a report.

Fox Sports reported that Ripken met with Andy MacPhail, the team's president of baseball operations, to discuss a potential job.

In a separate conversation, Angelos denied the request, stating that "he did not want Ripken to receive credit once the team returned to prominence," according to three sources.
