The Baltimore Orioles aren't believed to be serious contenders to sign Yoenis Cespedes at this point.

"I checked around yesterday and didn't get the sense that the Orioles are remotely close to a deal. I'm told by one source that a contract proposal hasn't even been presented to ownership," writes Roch Kubatko of MASN.

Baltimore certainly isn't going to pay Cespedes well north of $100 million, which is what he was projected to receive at the start of free agency.
