Friday Bird Droppings: Where the Machado deadline has passed and he's still here

Hello, friends.

There are now 97 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2018. As the 1997 season was rather good for the team, perhaps this will prove to be an auspicious sign for the day. Not that the Orioles themselves are likely to do anything at all to where they need good luck - but after the Zach Britton injury, we need all the good luck we can get for every player doing offseason workouts.

The artificial Thursday deadline for trading Manny Machado has passed and as you can tell, he's still here.
