Could Vladimir Guerrero become an Oriole? Jim Bowden thinks so. Andy MacPhail says not so fast.

Update - 10:30 AM on Saturday - Andy MacPhail denies any reports that the O's are close to signing Vladimir Guerrero. From Steve Melewski:

While MacPhail has often said "one phone call can change things" and no one from the Orioles is saying a possible Guerrero signing is 100 percent out of the question, it certainly appears that no signing is imminent. The O's have not had recent discussions with Guerrero, sources say.

This is, of course, what Jim Bowden tweeted last night:
