Orioles Turning Back Murray Trade Rumor to Indians
Baltimore officials rejected a plan to trade Bobby Bonilla and Jeffrey Hammonds to the Cleveland Indians for Eddie Murray and Jeremy Burnitz. Murray, 40, would have been a lefty-heavy addition, but Orioles felt balance was better with Bonilla. Burnitz, a prospect, would have started in the outfield. Murray last played for Baltimore in 1988.
