With their roster still in flux and several weighty decisions looming, the Orioles will host their annual FanFest on Saturday at the Baltimore Convention Center in what often is both a celebration of Orioles baseball and a fairly accurate barometer of what fans expect from the club.
The event runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. — with season-ticket holders granted admission starting at 10 a.m. — and will feature question-and-answer sessions, autograph stations, clinics and exhibits.
Most current Orioles players and staff will be there, though as of Friday night a team spokesman could not confirm whether third baseman Manny Machado (personal commitment) and reliever Darren O'Day, whose re-signing had yet to be announced, would attend.
