In charge of a team's offseason for the first time in nearly a decade, Baltimore Orioles general manager Dan Duquette has made some interesting roster decisions this winter, to say the least. Let's take a look at the latest out of Baltimore rumors, news and notes...

• It was reported earlier the Blue Jays were discussing a deal for right-handed reliever Koji Uehara, and now the Dallas Morning News is reporting the Baltimore Orioles are also interested in bringing back the reliever. The O's traded Uehara last season at the trade deadline in exchange for starter Tommy Hunter and corner infielder Chris Davis.
• Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports writes the Orioles released outfielder Kyle Hudson, who was designated for assignment earlier in the month. The O's had to trade or release him, and they opted for the latter.
