Last week of spring offers opportunity to add players, but do the Orioles have room?

With less than a week to go before Opening Day, teams are paring their rosters, which has led to an influx of free agents on the market.

For the Orioles, who will already have a challenge in whittling down their roster from 41 players down to their 25 by Sunday, there are a few players who could fill a need.

The club has long had interest in veteran outfielder David Murphy, who was released by the Boston Red Sox on Monday after exercising an opt-out in his contract.

The Orioles had interest in the left-handed hitting Murphy during the offseason, especially early on when they had a righty-heavy lineup, as a platoon possibility before he signed a minor league deal with Boston.
