The Orioles have entered the fray for infielder Nick Franklin, according to CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman.
The Mariners are considering dealing the infielder. Brad Miller has wrapped up the job at shortstop, and the club signed Robinson Cano in the offseason, pushing Franklin out of a role. The Orioles would use Franklin at second base, where Jemile Weeks and Jonathan Schoop have been competing during camp.
Franklin has also been pursued by the Rays and Mets. He hit .225/.303/.382 in 369 at-bats last year.
