Good morning, Birdland!
Well, that whole idea that it’s been a slow offseason for the Orioles got blown up on Tuesday evening. That’s when John Ourand of Puck News reported that the Angelos family had reached an agreement to sell the team. The new ownership group would be led by native Baltimorean and billionaire David Rubenstein, but also someone named Mike Arougheti and a few local celebrities, Cal Ripken Jr. included.
Mark recapped all of the specifics on the site yesterday, so head over there for the details of the deal.
As for how the Orioles are impacted in the short term, it is likely very little.
