Friday Bird Droppings: Where the Orioles are decluttering the roster

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

As of this writing, the Orioles don’t seem to be any closer to hiring a president/GM or manager. But somebody, at least, is calling the shots in the meantime, and right now their task is to expel the dead weight from the Orioles’ roster.

Cue the jokes. “They’re clearing the dead weight? So...everybody?”

You’re not totally wrong. A look at the Birds’ current 40-man roster reveals a ton of flotsam and jetsam; plenty of chaff with not much wheat. Yesterday, the O’s whittled four players off the list by outrighting Sean Gilmartin, Corban Joseph, Jace Peterson, and Gabriel Ynoa.
