A week after the Memorial Day marker he set to evaluate these 2018 Orioles, executive vice president Dan Duquette on Sunday delivered the overdue assessment that many others have made of the club with the worst record in the big leagues at 17-41 — this is nowhere near good enough, and it's time to turn the club's attention toward the future.
"Obviously, we haven't had the kind of season that we were hoping for, and it's time for us to look at our competitive position and see where we can help our ballclub internally and for the future," Duquette said during a break from draft preparation Sunday.
