Matt Wieters is waiting for a big deal that may never come

In three days time, pitchers and catchers will begin reporting to spring training camps across Arizona and Florida. Not every pitcher and catcher knows where he will be reporting just yet, or even when. That includes free agent Matt Wieters, the one-time Orioles franchise savior who turned out to be just a guy.

Rather than go through an offseason-long song-and-dance with Wieters, like they did with Chris Davis last year and Mark Trumbo this year, the Orioles chose to move along earlier in the offseason, signing Welington Castillo to be their catcher.
