Quick update on Darren O'Day

If you're waiting for the Orioles to confirm the Darren O'Day signing today, you probably should enjoy the nice weather and formulate your dinner plans.

I'm hearing that the club isn't expected to make an announcement today, so it's more likely to happen at Saturday's FanFest at the Convention Center. Plan accordingly.

O'Day passed his physical and signed his four-year, $31 million contract, which includes $4 million in deferred money. The sides reached agreement on Monday.

If you're looking for nominations for "Worst Timing Ever," how about a portion of Interstate 395 entering the city to Howard Street being closed from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Sunday?

Have no fear. Just know in advance that traffic will be redirected to the exit ramp for Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard., which includes the exit ramp to access Lots B/C at Camden Yards. Fans traveling northbound on I-95 also can utilize Exit 52 (Russell Street) to enter the downtown area.

Fans heading to the Convention Center are advised to allow sufficient time due to the detours and traffic constrictions. I'll see you there. Whether I'll have bells on is yet to be determined.

I've been asked how Jason Heyward's agreement with the Cubs on an eight-year, $184 million contract impacts the Orioles' offer to Chris Davis.

Their offer won't change. The Cardinals figure to turn their attention to Davis, as I've written. And agent Scott Boras is rubbing his hands together and smiling.

The Cardinals could try to sign Alex Gordon. They also could work hard at acquiring Carlos Gonzalez from the Rockies. They have multiple options.

I've also been asked if the Orioles will turn their attention to Justin Upton. He's already got their attention. They've met with his agent and are making a push to sign him.
