Hello, friends.
There are now 120 days remaining until the next scheduled Orioles game. It’s true! Opening Day is now less than four months away, unless 2021 also experiences disruptions to the beginning of the season. It seems like we are now on a trajectory to reasonably hope that no such disruption will happen.
Today is a day to digest the moves that the Orioles made on Wednesday evening. There was one move that was more expected, that they did not tender Hanser Alberto a 2021 contract, and one that was a surprise. The surprise is that the O’s traded shortstop Jose Iglesias to the Angels for pitching prospects Garrett Stallings and Jean Pinto.
