I just heard the Orioles were interested in Wagner because they're current closer options are Jim Johnson who quite honestly doesn't have what it takes to be a Closer, and Koji Uehara who was a closer in Japan but will probably be needed in the rotation.

The Os are apparently also interested in Ben Sheets, who could be a huge wild card among pitchers in the offseason. I do doubt that they would go after both Sheets and Bedard since both have injuries but Andy McPhail has said that they will persue players even if they have a history of injuries.

The Os only have $45 million for the salary of the players currently on the roster so they could spend some money. Plus they only have 3 players signed past next season (Markakis, Roberts and Brian Matusz)..though I sure hope they get Adam Jones signed to along term deal soon.
