The Orioles continue to
pursue three- way trade opportunities that would land
Thames, 29, who hit .256 with 26 homers and 60 RBIs
last season. Orioles officials would love to add both
players. And a backup plan to Thames has emerged in
Aubrey Huff, the free agent first baseman/DH who has
always hit well at Camden Yards.
Orioles officials met with Huff's agent late Wednesday
night and are now giving heavy consideration to making
the former Tampa Bay Devil Ray an offer.
"These same players we are considering now, we talked
about back in September," said Orioles vice president
Jim Duquette, disputing the notion that the Orioles are
completely in fall-back mode. "We were hoping not to
get it to that part of the list, but we've had plenty
of conversations on them."
