Leading Off
The Winter meetings are in full swing. Expect lots of exciting, vague statements including the phrases “reportedly” and “sources.” Also expect heartbreak – it’s the birthright of every Orioles fan. The O’s have been somewhat busy, inking Mark Trumbo and (depending who you believe) have a deal in place with Darren O’Day.

Let's assume for this exercise that the O's spend $25 million a year and bring back Davis.

After doing that, the O's are now at $142 million, with essentially the same roster that went 81-81, minus its best pitcher.

Offseason’s Greetings

The Orioles have addressed some of their needs so far for the 2016 season. After all, they now have Hoes in the correct area codes. Sorry.
