The Baltimore Orioles have a vacancy at closer and Tommy Hunter appears to be the leading in-house candidate for the job.
The Orioles are making a push for free-agent Fernando Rodney, but he may prove to be too expensive.
Hunter collected four saves in 2013, the only ones of his career. He met with Buck Showalter late last season to express his desire to remain a stater, but closing excites him.
"Hell yeah, I'd be OK with it," he replied. "Why wouldn't I?"
