The Orioles and free agent first baseman Derrek Lee have reached an oral agreement on a one-year contract pending a physical, according to an Associated Press report.
Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail disclosed the deal Friday.
The 35-year-old Lee split time with the Cubs and Braves last season, totaling 19 homers and 80 RBIs in 148 games.
