Hello, friends.
Welcome to December. The proliferation of Christmas decorations before it was even Thanksgiving might have made you think it was already the last month of the year, but no. We’ve arrived at the end of the 2024 calendar only now. There are now three months and 26 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2025. In another month from now, I’ll just be able to say Orioles Opening Day, since it will be 2025.
We’re still a week away from the winter meetings, which often, though not always, result in some big news. Last year’s biggest winter meetings news was the Orioles signing Craig Kimbrel, which wasn’t all that big of news and wouldn’t have been big even if the Kimbrel signing had ended up working out better for the Orioles.
