Report: Orioles receiving 'major interest' in Wei-Yin Chen

The Baltimore Orioles appear to have no shortage of suitors should they wish to deal left-hander Wei-Yin Chen. 

Despite not actively shopping the 29-year-old, the Orioles are receiving "major interest" in Chen and are keeping an open mind, according to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. 

Chen led the AL East division champs in wins last season with 16, in addition to posting a 3.54 ERA and career-low 1.22 WHIP in 31 starts. 

Connolly notes that the Orioles had preliminary talks earlier in the offseason about dealing Chen to the Los Angeles Angels for second baseman Howie Kendrick, but the trade never materialized.
