Hello, friends.
There are now three months and 26 days remaining until the next scheduled Orioles game, which is Opening Day 2022. Pitchers and catchers reporting to Sarasota to begin spring training is a mere two months and 13 days away. However, this all assumes that there are no disruptions to the 2022 calendar resulting from the long-expected, near-reality ownership lockout that was unanimously approved last night and is anticipated to begin at any time today.
The final day before things shut down featured some more free agents reaching deals. The Orioles did not add any more surprises beyond Tuesday’s addition of Jose Bautista-puncher Rougned Odor.
