As of this filing, the Orioles haven’t reached agreements with their four remaining arbitration-eligible players – third baseman Manny Machado, closer Zach Britton, reliever Brian Matusz and starter Miguel Gonzalez.

The sides will exchange figures today and hearings will be set up next month unless deals can be struck.

Tillman was the Orioles’ opening day starter again and went 11-11 with a 4.99 ERA in 31 games.

Flaherty figures to remain the Orioles’ utility infielder after batting .202/.281/.356 with eight doubles, three triples, nine home runs and 31 RBIs in 91 games. He started at six positions and homered at five.

Update: The Orioles reached agreement with Machado on a $5 million deal that also includes incentives.

Machado made $548,000 last season.

So we’re down to Britton, Matusz and Gonzalez.
