Teams have been fined for spring training road lineups, but the Orioles are (probably) OK

One of the accepted realities of spring training is that teams don't make their star players hit the road for bus trips very often. The Orioles are no exception to this. If for some reason a person would have followed the O's across Florida this spring, they wouldn't have seen Adam Jones in any road game, and they would have only seen Manny Machado twice and Chris Davis once.

The league doesn't like it when teams take this sort of thing too far. There are rules requiring a certain number of regulars to play in spring road games and teams that repeatedly flout those rules are hit with fines.
