Arizona Diamondbacks

Mark Reynolds, who spent the past two seasons as a starting corner infielder with the Orioles, has agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth $6 million plus incentives with the Cleveland Indians, according to an industry source. Reynolds, 29, hit .221 with 23 homers and 69 RBIs in 135 games last year after a 2011 season in which he hit a team-leading 37 homers in 155 games. The Orioles held an $11 million option on Reynolds for 2013 that the club declined this offseason, preferring instead to buy it out for $500,000.

The Orioles have attempted to bolster their lack of catching depth by sending minor league right-hander Rob Delaney to the Los Angeles Angels organization for veteran catcher Chris Snyder. Snyder, 32, will meet the team in Seattle on Tuesday and presumably will take over the back-up catching void created when Taylor Teagarden dislocated his left thumb Saturday. The Orioles recalled Luis Exposito for Sunday's game - he did not play -- but now it is likely he will lose his place on the big league roster Tuesday with the pending arrival of Snyder, a veteran of parts of nine major league seasons.

TAMPA, Fla. - Conor Jackson knows every spring at-bat is valuable. The way the 30-year-old sees it, there are only so many opportunities to show you belong. And over the first five games of spring training - as opponents have stacked left-handers against the Orioles - the right-handed Jackson has seen his name on the lineup card often. In the first days of camp, Jackson missed three days of workouts with lower back stiffness, but he was determined not to let the injury quell his push for a roster spot.

Three snapshots are all that's needed to summarize last night's gut-wrenching, here-we-go-again Orioles bullpen implosion in a 7-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. After all, you have seen this once or nine times before, the Orioles leading after the seventh only to watch the carefully pushed buttons misfire and the bullpen give away another assumed victory.

Quote: "We walked too many guys. It's ugly, but we got a win." -- Marlins manager Jim Leyland after 12-6 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.It's a fact: Matt Williams of the Diamondbacks recently hit a ball off the warning track and into the swimming pool beyond the right-center-field fence in Bank One Ballpark. It was announced in the press box as "a ground-pool double."Who's hot: Pirates catcher Jason Kendall, a career .247 hitter in April, is hitting .366 (30-for-82) with two homers and 13 RBIs.

1 Waiver bye-bye: Major League Baseball's waiver trade deadline ends at midnight. Will Aubrey Huff (left, 17) still be an Oriole at 12:01 a.m.? 2 We're talkin' about practice: NFL teams can fill out their practice squads. With so many Ravens injuries, fans of the home team might want to familiarize themselves with their practice players. 3 Mild West: It's mediocrity at its best, as the two best teams in the NL West - the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks - meet at 8 p.m. on ESPN2.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The Florida Marlins will still listen to offers for A.J. Burnett, but their appetite for moving the prospective free agent has dulled considerably. Encouraged by the team's strong play to close out a three-city road trip, the Marlins have told people they are "going forward as [they] are." That could change with a subpar homestand or with a surprisingly strong proposal before Sunday afternoon's non-waiver trade deadline, but the Marlins essentially believe another team would have to overpay to get Burnett.

In their attempt to find a power bat, the Orioles have shown interest in trading for Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jason Kubel. Kubel, a left-handed batter who hit 30 homers last season, could play both left field and designated hitter, so he would be a good fit if the Orioles were unable to sign Nate McLouth. The Orioles could retain Kubel for the next two seasons. He will make $7.5 million in 2013 in the second year of a two-year, $15-million deal with Arizona. He holds a $7.5-million mutual option for 2014.

My guess is I am averaging about five questions a day for the past two weeks on the Orioles' pursuit of left-handed pitcher Joe Saunders. Pretty incredible considering when the Orioles dealt reliever Matt Lindstrom to Arizona for Saunders last August, the move was met with collective yawns across Baltimore. The veteran and Northern Virginia native must have made quite an impression in his month-plus time with the Orioles (I guess that's what happens when you shut down the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees in the playoffs)

Yes, now we can assume Jason Kubel is off the trade block and off the Orioles' radar. Frankly, he wasn't exactly in the center of their radar, but now the outfielder is expected to stay with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who agreed to trade young star Justin Upton and infielder Chris Johnson to the Atlanta Braves -- pending physical -- for five players, including infielder-outfielder Martin Prado, high upside right-hander Randall Delgado and three minor...

Heading into a new year, the Orioles have much of the same team as they did in 2012. That's by design, and apparently there is a push to continue that trend. The Orioles have re-signed left fielder Nate McLouth, maintain dialogue with lefty starter Joe Saunders and, according to an industry source, are among the clubs showing legitimate interest in signing right-handed reliever Matt Lindstrom, whom the Orioles traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks in August for Saunders. Lindstrom, 32, was 1-0 with a 2.72 ERA in 32 games with the Orioles, striking out 30 batters and walking 12 while allowing 35 hits in 36 1/3 innings.

The Orioles had their focus on Joe Saunders since he was on the free-agent market this offseason, and the club had been discussing the possibility of acquiring the left-hander in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the past few weeks. Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette - always eager to add pitching depth - coveted Saunders' experience and the prospect of him helping the Orioles against some of the American League's lefty-laden lineups. On Sunday, the Orioles acquired the 31-year-old Saunders, along with cash considerations, for right-handed reliever Matt Lindstrom and a player to be named after the season.

The Orioles continue to have interest in recently released first baseman Lyle Overbay, who is expected to make his decision on his next team soon. According to an industry source, the Orioles inquired about Overbay last week while he was still with the Arizona Diamondbacks and have made their interest known again after he was released Monday. Several other teams are reportedly courting the 35-year-old Washington state native, including the San Francisco Giants and Cincinnati Reds.

Orioles infielder Mark Reynolds missed the club's doubleheader on Monday and may be out longer as he deals with the lingering effects of being hit in the helmet with a pitch Saturday. Reynolds said he didn't pass cognitive tests that were administered Monday and expects to be tested again Tuesday. He still had soreness on the left side of his head — where a fastball from Los Angeles Angels' starter Ervin Santana struck him in the third inning Saturday — but said, "I'm fine.
