Perhaps no two offseason Orioles signings were more heavily discussed than those of Mark Trumbo and Pedro Alvarez, presumably due to the overwhelming love of the home run within the Baltimore baseball community.
Nobody does long-balls better than the Birds, and these two signings contributed largely to a belief that the Orioles were poised to become the MLB’s leader in homers by the end of the season. That prediction ultimately became a reality, largely thanks to the contributions of both of these big bats.
But with both contracts expiring as we approach the offseason, in which direction will the O’s go at the designated hitter spot in 2017 and beyond?
