Orioles manager Buck Showalter touched on several topics in a video interview with The Baltimore Sun at this week’s winter meetings, including his approach going into the final year of his contract.
Only Hall of Famer Earl Weaver has managed more games for the Orioles than Showalter, who will enter his eighth full season as the club’s skipper. Even though there’s major uncertainty about the club’s long-term future — executive vice president Dan Duquette is also entering the final year of his contract, and several key players can head to free agency after next season — Showalter plans to maintain the same approach in 2018.
