The GM Meetings are often where the foundation is laid for the offseason, and after the Baltimore Orioles spent the last week saying that they are ready to spend this winter, the early noise from Las Vegas suggests there may be some truth to that.
MLB insider Mark Feinsand is among the reporters on hand for the meetings, and he seems to put stock in the idea that Baltimore is ready to be aggressive.
This hope from the Orioles doesn't match the actions they have had under Mike Elias. Tyler O'Neill was the only splurge Baltimore has made in free agency under Elias' watch.
