Good morning, Birdland!
The Orioles are only 2.5 games out of a playoff spot, and they happen to have three more games against the team directly ahead of them in the standings this weekend. So, this isn’t a time to panic. But the team’s current form isn’t encouraging. Over the last 11 games, the Orioles are 2-9.
Don’t expect for Orioles general manager Mike Elias to go out of his way to make the team any better this year prior to the trade deadline either. His plan for the organization goes beyond 2020. There could be additional promotions from the alternative site, but not much else.
