The Orioles have joined five other teams in the race to sign free-agent pitcher A.J. Burnett this offseason. "There is sincere and mutual interest (with the Orioles)," agent Darek Braunecker said. "We're not here to waste people's time or our time. We don't need to create a false market for A.J. Burnett." Also in the hunt are the Phillies, Braves, Red Sox, Yankees and Blue Jays.
