Not yet, anyway. I had a brief conversation with Adam Katz, who represents free-agent pitchers Rich Harden and Joel Pineiro. Those two names have been linked to the Orioles in various reports. Katz didn't indicate that discussions have grown serious. "It's just tire kicking at this point," he said. "It's just preliminary tire kicking." Katz also represents Sammy Sosa, which is how I first met him. I didn't bother to ask.
