Monday Bird Droppings: Free agents are starting to sign

Happy Monday, Camden Chatters!

It’s Thanksgiving week, so it will probably be a slow one around Birdland. Of course, I feel like I say that about most weeks during the offseason. One of these days Mike Elias is going to prove me wrong.

One big free agent did come off the board yesterday, one that some Orioles fans thought would look good in Baltimore. The Phillies re-signed Aaron Nola to a seven-year, $172 million contract. Of course, the Orioles were never going to come close to signing a pitcher to that kind of contract. Not only is the money big, but seven years to a 30-year-old pitcher is definitely not the Orioles’ style.
