FLOP TALKS FIZZLE

"ANDY: How RU? Last offer. Wieters + Radhames 4 Felipe."
(Jim Bowden, Text message to Andy MacPhail, intercepted by The Nationals Enquirer)

Did Jimbo ask for the sun, moon, and stars for Felipe Lopez? Or did the O's just realize that Felipe stinks?

via Baltimore Sun, the O's are looking elsewhere for SS help:

The Orioles' efforts to find a shortstop have intensified since Alex Cintron went on the disabled list. They've been scouting several players...They also had talks with the Washington Nationals about Felipe Lopez, but their interest in him has waned, according to sources.
