The deal will not be finalized under right-hander passes a physical, the person told newsandtalking.blogspot.com, speaking on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the contract had not been announced by the Orioles.
Balfour fills the void left by the trade of closer Jim Johnson, who was dealt to Oakland this month because Baltimore didn't want to pay him around $10 million per season.
