Suk-min Yoon passes physical, Orioles deal official

Korean right-hander Suk-min Yoon has passed his physical with the Orioles, making the deal official, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Because of Yoon's prior health issues and the Orioles' reputation for strict physical exams stemming from the team's nixing of contracts with free agents Grant Balfour and Tyler Colvin this winter, the last step in the signing process was not a guarantee. Everything went well with the physical, and the deal will be announced within the next couple of days.
