The former super-prospect's Orioles tenure is ending with a thud.
It goes without saying at this point that a lot of things have not gone right for the 2015 Orioles. But put aside the fact that 2015 was supposed to be the team's window; win or lose, one thing that was supposed to be waiting at the end of the season was the near certainty that, even if the team lost three of its top players (Chris Davis, Wei-Yin Chen and Matt Wieters), they'd be able to extend qualifying offers to all three, and hopefully replenish their farm system from some of the hits it's taken to plug holes in the big club during the last four years of contention.
