Free-agent DH Jim Thome (Orioles) has said he is interested in playing in 2013 if a team shows interest. The Baltimore Orioles are not expected to bring him back, though, as manager Buck Showalter would like to rotate his players in and out of the designated hitter spot to give them a rest. Right now, Thome is not viewed as an ideal fit for the team despite his positive clubhouse presence.

Free-agent DH Jim Thome (Orioles) said he wants to return in 2013 for another season. "I'm not retired," the 42-year-old slugger said with a laugh. "If someone wants me to play, I'd consider it for sure. I feel good. If I didn't feel good, I wouldn't even consider it. But I feel good. I'd like to play." Thome said he'd consider playing for a National League team, although he admits his best chances are as a designated hitter.
