Good morning, Birdland!
One of the big offseason mile markers has come and gone: the non-tender deadline. In a somewhat surprising move, the Orioles either agreed to deals or tendered contracts to every single one of their eligible players.
In general, the list was made up of talented players that were in no danger of being non-tendered. But there was some speculation that the likes of Keegan Kin, Ryan McKenna, and even Jorge Mateo might have seen their time with the Orioles come to an end. Instead, they will stay put for now.
The Orioles were fortunate to already have plenty of wiggle room on the 40-man roster.
