Orioles decline option on 3B Mora (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

The Orioles have declined their 2010 option on Melvin Mora, allowing Baltimore's longest-tenured player to become a free agent. Mora, 37, came to the Orioles in a 2000 trade with the New York Mets. He played 1,256 games for Baltimore, including 807 at third base -- the second-most in franchise history behind Brooks Robinson.
