Tuesday Bird Droppings: The Orioles and everyone else enter hot stove season

Hello, friends.

There are now 146 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2017, which continues to be so many days away that I don't want to think about it, so let's not.

What we can think about is the start of the hot stove season, because as of the clock striking midnight today, baseball's free agency period has begun. Anyone can now sign anywhere freely - well, except for the ten players who got qualifying offers, as they have to either accept or decline the offers before they can move on with their business. I'm not very worried about the Orioles doing something immediately.
