Nationals won't land reliever Darren O'Day (O'Day says reports "premature")

We're an hour from liftoff at Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport, and the Nationals have reportedly already lost one of their primary targets before the Winter Meetings even begin.

Per a report from Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, right-hander Darren O'Day will likely remain with the Orioles. The Nationals had made the sidearming set-up man one of their chief targets in an expected bullpen makeover.

No word yet on contract terms, but O'Day had been seeking a four-year deal worth $32-$34 million. There is some belief that the Nationals were unwilling to go to four years.

The Braves and Dodgers were also interested in signing O'Day, who expressed a preference to stay in the mid-Atlantic. His wife, Elizabeth Prann, is a D.C.-based reporter for FOX News.

More on this story once we touch down in Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center.

Update: Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that O'Day and the Orioles have agreed to a four-year deal. The pact is pending a physical.

It's four years for $31 million, a source has confirmed.

Update: Just arrived at the headquarters hotel to a tweet from O'Day that says he has not reached an agreement and that reports of a deal with the Orioles are "premature."

Despite this news, I'm hearing that O'Day is scheduled for a physical later this week in Baltimore.

Contrary to the news, I have not reached an agreement with the O's yet. I am flattered by all the attention, but reports are premature.

Update: Orioles executive vice president has told Baltimore reporters that the Orioles have more work to do before the O'Day deal is done.
