Good morning, Birdland!
Baseball season is coming, and it feels so good! The Orioles have been dropping all sorts of pre-spring training tidbits all week. There was the hype video of the Oriole Bird packing up the trucks for Sarasota, the team started up the Birdland Caravan fan events, and of course the non-roster invite list.
Mixed in there was the failure of ownership to agree to a long-term lease deal with the Maryland Stadium Authority, yet another bungle in an impressively poor offseason for the Angelos family. However, there is no reason for Orioles fans to panic as any real evidence of the franchise moving simply doesn’t exist.
