The Baltimore Orioles’ aversion to signing a player or announcing the signing of a player prior to a physical is well documented. While GM Dan Duquette says that the team still has “some work to do,” that’s pretty much where the O’s stand on Darren O’Day. Assuming team doctors clear him as good to go for the entire four years, the deal will be signed at some point in the future.
Before this goes any further, it’s worth mentioning that every team in every sport requires a physical for a player before they consummate a contract.
