7:53pm: Balfour's issue concerns his right shoulder, Connolly reports (Twitter
link). The righty underwent surgery to correct a torn rotator cuff in that
shoulder in 2005, Connolly notes, though Balfour hasn't had any subsequent
problems. "More I hear, more it looks like Balfour deal could collapse,"
Connolly tweets, adding that the Orioles have traditionally been very cautious
of signing players (particularly pitchers) with medical concerns.
7:18pm: A source tells Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun (Twitter links) that
the Balfour deal "may be in jeopardy," though "serious jeopardy" is probably
too strong. The Orioles would look at other closer options on the open market
if Balfour's physical issue is a deal-breaker.
THURSDAY, 6:16pm: The Orioles/Balfour deal is "in serious jeopardy" and could
fall apart altogether, MASNsports.com's Roch Kubatko reports. Balfour's
physical revealed issues that "need to be resolved," according to a source. More
word about this setback could come on Friday.
