Good morning, Birdland!
One of the more interesting off-season deadlines from the Orioles’ perspective has come and gone. The team protected all of the no-brainers plus a pair of wild cards from the Rule 5 draft. Although there is no guarantee, this does clear the path for D.L. Hall and Kyle Bradish to make their way to Baltimore sometime in 2022. For a club that desperately needs any sort of pitching talent they can get, especially starters, that is quite exciting.
Beyond this point, the current offseason is in doubt. December 1 is the non-tender deadline. This is the same day that the current CBA expires.
