Overreaction of the Week: Orioles Second Half Goals

Welcome to Overreaction Of The Week, my over the top, uninhibited, Baltimore sports-fan takes on this week’s Orioles activity.

What Happened

Now that the All Star Game is over, the Orioles must shift their focus to the second half of the season. The Playoffs aren’t a consideration, but what are some realistic goals for the Orioles to set?

My Take

Goal 1: Trade Veterans

Manny Machado will be traded soon, but the Orioles need to quickly refocus to move other valued veterans like Adam Jones, Zach Britton, and Brad Brach.
