Iggy’s Baltimore Sports Report – March 9, 2014

Ravens:
Ravens and OL Monroe are far apart in contract negotiations with Monroe asking $10M/year, expect him gone… Jah Reid arrested, charged with misdemeanor battery in Key West… Arthur Jones receiving heavy interest by other teams… Ravens made offer to Jacoby Jones, but no discussions being held…

Orioles:
Orioles have been getting several good starts from Jiminez, Norris, and Chen, most recently, which is highly encouraging… Rumors have Ervin Santana as landing in either Baltimore or Toronto as well, which could really crowd our rotation.

Alouettes
Nothing new to report.

Mariners
After going 16-0 in 2010, and then being disbanded due to league financial violations, the league has returned to Baltimore with a reconstituted Mariner team for the 2014 season. See website for schedule.

What do you want to see in the Ravens report? What should be scrapped? Actually, never mind. No one is reading this anyway so you probably won’t know the difference. Send an email to iggy at tealdragon.net. Thanks!
