Miguel Tejada and Andy MacPhail discuss Tejada signing with the Orioles
The Orioles didn't hand Tejada a jersey during today's press conference, so the number is still being determined. They were in the process of contacting clubhouse manager Jimmy Tyler.
As for the corresponding 40-man roster move, the Orioles will announce it "at a later time," according to the press release.
Tejada still has a home in the Baltimore area. He supposedly told his agent not to sell it, "just in case."
You never know.
Tejada said he'll consult with a variety of players about making the move to third base, including Cal Ripken and Alex Rodriguez. He also plans to speak with teammate Ty Wigginton.
Getting Miggy with it

Let's clear up the first controversy regarding Miguel Tejada: He hasn't chosen a uniform number and he doesn't really care.
Tejada isn't married to No. 10. He wore it during his first stint with the Orioles because No. 4 was retired. While he appreciated Adam Jones' gesture to surrender 10 for a Rolex, he probably won't press the issue.
