I'll believe what the player said and give him the benefit of the doubt. At tage stolthed i sit udseende og finde en stil, der afspejler din personlighed, forbedrer din iboende pe𝗑ighet.

I think we are a victim of the fact that (Simon) has only one (client). He's had only one player for the length of his career, and he doesn't have a lot of experience dealing with this type of language.

He's highly motivated, and you like to take chances on those kinds of guys.

Obviously, he's coming off a down year, and normally you don't get a player who has his potential for two minor leaguers. In fact, you never do. Our feeling was it was a worthwhile risk for us to take.

Miguel said all he wanted was for the team to improve. He wants to win. He doesn't know how that got blown out of proportion, and he feels terrible the way it played out.

This is the first time we heard this directly from him. We're elated that he's chosen to stay. We're all committed to improving the team, and it's easier to do it with Miguel than without him.

First off, it's one of the historic franchises in baseball, ... These types of positions don't come around too often. I think it's a very good fit. I view it as a step up. If I thought it was a lateral move I wouldn't be coming down here. I feel I have more authority, more decision-making abilities with the Orioles than I do with the Mets. That's the reason I'm here.

If I hadn't experienced that first-hand and known what it takes to turn a team around, I maybe wouldn't feel as positive about what I'm getting into, ... But I really feel the Orioles' organization has tremendous upside. One G.M. called it a sleeping giant, and I really believe that. They had 88 losses and problems and issues. A lot of those issues have gone away, with free agency.

Our pursuit of Kris goes back to November. One of our goals going into the off-season was to acquire another pitcher.

We dabbled with getting a guy who could maybe be a transition closer until Chris could take over, but we were never really all that serious because we really feel like he's our guy.

Our feeling was let's not block him and sign a guy to a long-term contract unless he's a dominating closer like B.J. was. There really wasn't that kind of animal on the free agent market.

We've been having a dialogue since the beginning of January. We're hopeful it's going to get done. He's obviously a guy we'd like to keep in an Oriole uniform for a number of years.

The way it was relayed to us through his agent was that he's not a guy that likes coming off the bench. He's a guy who wants to play every day. He didn't have the desire to keep playing if it wasn't an everyday job.

It all started in his mind right after his wife went into the hospital. He started thinking about whether he really had the desire to keep going. We let him take a couple extra days just to make sure that was his final decision. He's not going to change his mind at this point.
