I find it interesting that most folks tend to put Baltimore Orioles’ owner Peter Angelos’ contribution to the Chris Davis deal on the back burner. It’s obviously been reported here and there that Angelos played a huge role behind the scenes, yet it’s almost the fact that nobody wants to admit. And mind you, Angelos probably wants it that way – he comes off as the type of guy who wants to stay in the background, and it’s quite frankly a role he plays very well.
For years Orioles fans complained that Angelos wouldn’t spend money on the team, and in many cases they were right.
