 Baltimore Orioles (64-98)

Orioles and Tejada together again, for $6 million

BALTIMORE (AP) Six years after signing Miguel Tejada to a top-dollar contract, the Baltimore Orioles welcomed back the 2002 AL MVP at a bargain price.

Tejada received a $6 million, one-year contract Tuesday after passing a physical. He was introduced in a news conference at the B&O Warehouse behind the baseball diamond at Camden Yards - the same building that was filled with hope in December 2003 when Tejada signed a six-year, $72 million contract.

The Orioles have endured 12 straight losing seasons, including four with Tejada from 2004-07. The 35-year-old expects that streak to end in 2010. (MORE)
