The Orioles are not going to win the World Series this year. They aren’t going to win the division, they aren’t going to make the playoffs, and they aren’t going to have a winning record. Some kind of miraculous 20-win improvement over last season with mostly the same roster would still see them losing 95 games this year. That this reality is no fun does not make it less true.
All of this adds up to mean that when June or July roll around, the Orioles will be looking to trade whatever’s not nailed down.
