Saturday Bird Droppings: The rumor mill has slowed
Good morning, Birdland!
Perhaps Mike Elias is right that the Winter Meetings are “an information gathering event, first and foremost,” but player movement sure has settled down a whole lot since the frenzy earlier this week. Signings are harder to come by, and even the rumor mill has slowed to a crawl. The Orioles haven’t even been connected to a minor league signing in several days. Kinda lame.
The fact is that a whole lot of offseason still remains. Carlos Correa, Carlos Rodón, and Dansby Swanson (among others) are still looking for a team. Of that group, the one that makes the most sense for the Orioles is Rodón as he would be the bonafide ace the team’s rotation desperately needs.
