Hello, friends.
There are now 109 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2018. The hot stove season is finally starting to pick up, not that anyone has bothered to tell the Orioles yet. There are trades out of nowhere and signings out of nowhere, and there's a decent chance that something will happen in the baseball world today that matters.
If I had the power to know what that would be, well, I wouldn't be using it on this blog. But yesterday brought the surprise signing of Tyler Chatwood with the Cubs, the surprise trade of Dee Gordon to the Mariners, and more money getting moved around to try to help one of the Shohei Ohtani finalists have a little bit extra to entice him to their city.
