Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette plans to do whatever he can to keep the team in the playoff hunt. On Friday night, Baltimore acquired middle infielder Omar Quintanilla from the Mets for cash considerations. Duquette continues to search for a starting pitcher. "We're still looking around," the executive said. "The issue on the trade market is a lot of teams are in contention and there are a lot of teams looking to bolster their team for the stretch run. And we have similar pitchers in our organization already. So, we'll see how that develops. I'm not really interested in making a trade just to make a trade, but I'll try to do what I can to add to the ballclub. "We're talking to clubs all the time. I've had a number of discussions this week with teams. You haven't seen a lot of trades yet, right? The new basic agreement has affected the market. The trading of players and receiving draft picks has changed. It's the first time for this agreement and first time teams are going through this process and it's taking them a while to figure out what are the appropriate values." Duquette was still in full buyer's mode even before the current three-game winning streak. "We're still in the hunt," he said. "We're glad to be in the hunt and we'll do everything we can to stay in the hunt."
