Bartlett Trade Falls Through

The Orioles had been working on a trade with the Rays that would send shortstop Jason Bartett to Baltimore. The Rays wanted Nolan Reimold and Alfredo Simon in return, but the Orioles have taken Reimold off the table, so the deal is off. The Orioles will likely move on to other options such as trade-candidates J.J. Hardy and Brendan Ryan, and free agent shortstop Orlando Cabrera.
