Good morning, Birdland!
There is no playoff baseball today, and there has not been much Orioles news to speak of. That feels like a decent opportunity to look forward to the next dates that actually matter for the Orioles.
Five days after the conclusion of the World Series, a few things will happen: Contract options must be accepted or rejected, qualifying offer decisions must be determined, players eligible for arbitration will either be offered arbitration or non-tendered, and all other players on expiring contracts will hit free agency. MLB.com has an explainer for all of the processes.
