A look ahead at the first non-divisional foe of the 2015 campaign
It's been an odd offseason for the two teams that faced off in the ALCS last season for the right to play in the World Series. The Kansas City Royals saw some talent departing and proceeded with signing some guys that were ill-suited to replace the talent they lost. The Baltimore Orioles? They did basically nothing.
Well, okaaaaayyyy, "nothing" is a little bit too harsh. They did pull off a nifty trade for two years of Travis Snider for the low, low price of one Stephen Tarpley, taking advantage of the Pirates' crowded outfield situation.
