Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette, speaking alongside manager Buck Showalter at a State of the Orioles event for season ticket holders, said the Orioles are going “full-force into a rebuild.”
In the half-hour session for fans before Saturday’s game at Camden Yards, Duquette elaborated on the plans he outlined in a conference call after they traded franchise shortstop Manny Machado to the Los Angeles Dodgers and have since continued to execute with this week’s trade of closer Zach Britton to the New York Yankees.
