Unhappy with a diminished role, utilityman Ryan Freel has asked the Orioles to trade him. "I'm not very happy," Freel said. "I think change is good for people. I think the expectations were for me to come over here and perform in a different way than I did. I don't think I met those expectations as far as the way I performed in spring training. "I don't think I fit here. ... I can't control whatever they do at this point. I know it's really putting a damper on my career, really hurting my career as far as getting a job next year. I'm pretty much just rolling with the punches." Freel, 33, was acquired from Cincinnati in December. Soon after, the team acquired Ty Wigginton and Felix Pie, which cut into Freel's playing time severely.
