Well, look at that. The calendar flips to 2020 and things already look up for the Orioles.
After 2019 came to an end with one of the team’s top players in Jonathan Villar and one of its core pitchers in Dylan Bundy being shipped out, 2020 got started with the news that Jose Iglesias will be coming aboard as the shortstop for next season.
That’s good news. No, I’m not saying to book World Series tickets, and I’m not saying that Iglesias belongs in a sentence with Cal Ripken, Luis Aparicio, Miguel Tejada and other iconic Orioles shortstops.
