Imagine a team losing 115 games. Imagine this team being forced to trade its best player in decades, while failing to force a return worthy of his caliber. Imagine its breakout star from the season before failing to maintain his surge of potential. Imagine this team’s most expensive player misplacing THREE wins and absorbing ownership of baseball’s worst offensive season ever.
You could probably count on a couple of fingers how many times baseball was fun last year for a downtrodden Baltimoron. What the Orioles lacked in wins, they made up for in misery.
However, Cedric Mullins did provide one of the, like, two moments of bliss.
