Seven years, 161 million dollars.
No, that’s not the amount of time and money Orioles fans will need to spend in therapy to forget the abysmal start to the 2018 season. Instead, it’s a sentence that will haunt Orioles fans for years to come. It’s the worst contract in team history. One that has truly handcuffed the present-day Birds, and will all-but guarantee the loss of Manny Machado, the best talent in recent Orioles history, to leave town this offseason.
Seven years, 161 million dollars.
