The Orioles have reached Memorial Day, and with it, the end of the self-imposed two-month stretch to gauge whether this team is built to win in 2018.
Now, that doesn’t mean the Orioles will suddenly start unloading pending free agents starting today. It doesn’t mean Manny Machado will be in a new uniform by the end of the week, end of July or for that matter the end of this season. It only means that this is the time executive vice president Dan Duquette set to assess this club and choose the direction it should go moving forward.
