Grant Balfour deal in jeopardy

Free-agent closer Grant Balfour's deal with the Baltimore Orioles
is in jeopardy of falling through due to a concern over his physical,
according to ESPN's Tim Kurkjian.

A source familiar with the situation told ESPN, however, that the deal
could be revived with a lesser contract. This scenario would be similar
to the contract reduction accepted last winter from Boston by
Mike Napoli after concerns about the then-free agent catcher/designated
hitter caused the Red Sox to back away from their initial long-term offer.

The Baltimore Sun is reporting the Orioles' news conference scheduled
for Friday to introduce Balfour has been postponed.

Balfour and the Orioles on Tuesday were reported to have reached a
two-year, $14 million deal with the closer that also includes deferred
payments of $500,000 per year.

Balfour, a 35-year-old Australia native, went 1-3 with a 2.59 ERA
and 38 saves last season with the Oakland Athletics. If he joins the
Orioles, he's expected to take over as closer for Jim Johnson, who was
traded to Oakland for second baseman Jemile Weeks and minor league
catcher David Freitas earlier this month.


簡單說，就是跟去年Napoli的狀況一樣，合約簽了，但是體檢沒過
可能需要重簽合約，看兩邊能否達成協議
目前原本預定週五的入團記者會已經延期了

--
作為夢的見證，我不會輕易任其淡化。
他們見證了我的青春與熱情，我的意志與戰鬥。
那個時代再也不可能回來，我的生命再也不可能回復；
只因為有夢，我於青春無悔。夢即是美，美即是夢。
啟開記憶的窗口時，我會再一次讓夢燃燒，
燒的放膽且放肆，燒的輝煌且燦爛，燒的夕陽無限好。
