On Wednesday afternoon, as I was watching former Baltimore Orioles draft pick SS Greg Jones and his UNC-Wilmington Seahawks in the Colonial Athletic Association conference tournament, I saw the notification that the O’s had traded for outfielder Keon Broxton. Instead of continuing to daydream about what could have been if the Orioles had been able to sign Greg Jones as I watched his silky smooth defense, my attention turned to the ramifications of this Broxton trade.
The Orioles need to clear a 25-man roster spot. Who will it be? Mike Elias could end up surprising all of us with this decision, but there seem to be two logical choices.
