Hyun Soo Kim officially refuses demotion to the Orioles minors

It just wouldn't be the Orioles if there wasn't one more weird twist to come before the regular season gets underway. On Thursday afternoon, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal threw another log on the strange fire of the O's offseason with a report that Hyun Soo Kim is resisting a minor league demotion.

If that proves to be the case, the O's will either have to keep Kim on the roster despite his spring training struggles, hoping he'll figure it out, or just release him and pay him the $7 million that he is contracted to make over the next two years.
