The holidays are all over. Office workers are back to normal hours. That includes professional baseball, where several big free agents made it clear they were planning to wait until 2019 before linking up with a new club. Welp, here we are.
The Orioles are unlikely to be involved, but it’s still fun to see the chatter and rumors swirl. Is Bryce Harper going to the White Sox? Will Manny Machado slip on the pinstripes (shudder)? It’s quite relaxing to realize that very little of this will affect the Birds. They don’t need to win anytime soon, and they have made it clear that they aren’t going to feign interest in doing so.
