The Baltimore Orioles and Nelson Cruz have enjoyed a successful partnership that may lead to a contract extension.

The Orioles signed Cruz to a one-year deal late in the offseason.

"While there's no definitive immediate word of any early negotiations between Cruz and the Orioles, both sides have expressed an interest in continuing the marriage, if possible," writes Jon Heyman.

Cruz currently leads the American League with 34 home runs.

"It's no secret it's been a very positive experience for Nelson and the Orioles -- though I don't want to speak for them," Cruz's agent Adam Katz said. "He's enjoyed every minute of it."
