Tuesday Bird Droppings: Where the Orioles finally made a move

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Our prayers have been answered. Well, maybe “prayers” is a little strong. But our request for the Orioles to do something worth discussing has at last been fulfilled. The O’s added their first major league position player free agent of the winter, signing veteran shortstop Jose Iglesias to a one-year, $3 million deal with a 2021 option.

On paper, it seems like a perfect fit. The O’s had a giant hole at the shortstop position after Jonathan Villar was traded and Richie Martin showed he wasn’t ready for primetime.
