The Major League Baseball draft and the Orioles’ first overall pick in it take center stage this week, but for the team itself, it’s a week full of visits to old stomping grounds.
The Orioles’ road trip to the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros sends many players to ballparks that were once their homes. That includes Chris Davis, who is expected to come off the injured list during the series against the Rangers, the team the Orioles acquired him from in a 2011 trade. Renato Núñez and Hanser Alberto, both of whom the Rangers lost via waivers in the past 13 months, as well as Andrew Cashner, the Texas native who will start Thursday’s series finale, are all former Rangers, too.
