Thursday Bird Droppings: It’s option exercising season

Hello, friends.

There are now 154 days remaining until the next scheduled Orioles game, which is Opening Day on April 1, 2021. Now that the World Series is over, there won’t be any other baseball happening to divert our attention until pitchers and catchers begin reporting - if all goes as planned - in February. Inferior sports will have to get us through the fall and winter, and with pandemic-altered schedules, even pro basketball and hockey are in their offseasons right now.

The next offseason day that’s relevant for the Orioles is that within five days after the end of the World Series, they will have to decide whether or not to exercise the $3.
