The burning question of any offseason for the Orioles is always how much money do they have to spend? With the non-tender deadline having come and gone, we still don't have any idea of the answer to that question. There is a lot more clarity on a very related question: How much money are the Orioles already committed to spending?
If you were out there hoping that the non-tender deadline would provide an opportunity to shed a few million dollars on players who have underperformed, you were probably disappointed by the choices the Orioles made. Orioles beat writers had written proclamations that the Orioles would not just be rubber stamping their arbitration-eligible players as they'd done a year ago.
