According to MASN's Roch Kubatko, the Orioles have received several trade inquiries on shortstop J.J. Hardy but they are not inclined to trade him this offseason.
The Tigers have displayed the most interest publicly in acquiring Hardy's services, but the O's don't appear to be interested in Rick Porcello, whom the Detroit front office is actively shopping. Despite a down 2012, Hardy is still one of the most powerful shortstops in the league. And Baltimore is hoping to compete this season.
