Buck Showlater won't rule out the possibility of the Baltimore Orioles signing Ervin Santana.

"I wouldn't say that and be completely sure that it's true," Showalter said when asked about the right-hander.

"The Orioles were comfortable offering him a three-year deal in the $30 million range, but Santana's camp kept trying to squeeze a fourth year out of them. He reportedly is seeking around $50 million, which doesn't interest the Orioles," writes Roch Kubatko.
