While I wish I was providing my thoughts on why a future Hall of Famer, I’ll even take a 3.0 fWAR player at this point, should sign with the Baltimore Orioles, it just isn’t going to happen at any point over the final few weeks of the offseason. Instead, Mike Elias and his staff will look to bring in low-cost veterans to act as bridges to, hopefully, better times. This strategy makes it difficult to muster excitement as we head into the 2019 season, but it’s the right strategy.
The Orioles will once again find themselves at the bottom of the American League East and have a very long list of questions concerning their roster.
