Good morning, Birdland!
Let’s just admit it. There isn’t much Orioles-specific news to discuss. With major league player movement off limits, we are left to think about the deals already agreed to, dream about the minor leaguers that may debut in the show this year, and to hope a new CBA is agreed to sometime soon.
But there was some Orioles-adjacent news this week, and it includes a couple of familiar faces.
Despite spending a boatload on players at the end of November, the New York Mets do not currently have a manager. Since 2019, three different people have been skipper of the Mets, including Carlos Beltran, who never even got to manage a game.
