Tuesday Bird Droppings: The calm before the winter meetings

Hello, friends.

There are now 125 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2017. Just a bit before Christmas, we'll be able to start counting down double digit numbers of days. Until then, there's not much to do except talk about the upcoming winter meetings.

Even those winter meetings are a week away. They start next Monday. This year's edition of the meetings will be held in Maryland, in fact, at National Harbor. That's assuming that there are any winter meetings at all, because it turns out that if the negotiations between MLB and the players union over the new Collective Bargaining Agreement break down, the owners will lock out the players on December 1.
