FOXSports.com is reporting that the Orioles have declined their 8 million dollar club option on third baseman Melvin Mora. Mora, 37, has seen his numbers fall in recent years, hitting 18 points below his career average in 2009 and posting his lowest home run total in seven seasons.

Mora, who makes his year round home in the Baltimore area, shouldn't have too much trouble finding work as long as he willing to take a pay cut.

What teams do you see making a play for Mora?
