The Orioles and Mark Reynolds have had no negotiations regarding a contract for the 2013 season, according to a source.

Reynolds had his $11 million option declined earlier this offseason and while it was widely thought Baltimore would try to bring him back on a two-year agreement, the possibility of a multi-year deal hasn't been explored.

The Orioles aren't expected to offer him arbitration and with Friday's non-tender deadline looming, Reynolds could end up becoming a free agent.

"We could explore a deal between now and the tender date," Dan Duquette said. "We've had some conversations with him and his agent. Some continuous discussions."
