Hello, friends.
There are now 75 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. This is a number that is currently in use by bullpen coach Alan Mills. It’s also the number he wore as an Oriole.
We’re now down to just 31 days until Orioles pitchers and catchers report to spring training. That’s right, the beginning of the spring training season is now only one month away. This is a less exciting realization for those who have spent a lot of time contemplating the current state of the O’s rotation.
Another mile marker of the offseason was passed on Friday as the deadline arrived for teams to either settle on a 2018 contract with their arbitration-eligible players or exchange figures for a possible hearing next month.
