There is no question that losing is the worst part of a rebuild. It’s the worst part of any season, really. But there’s another pain point that stings nearly as much— waiting.
Fans are left waiting for prospects to arrive. There’s the wait for the trade deadline and even the MLB draft. When there is not a lot to enjoy, it makes sense to look toward the future. When top prospects are sitting in the low minors, the future can sure seem a long way away.
Orioles fans are still waiting for Grayson Rodriguez, DL Hall and Adley Rutschman.
