Good morning, Birdland!
Spring training is over for the Orioles. It was not the most ceremonious conclusion. The O’s were supposed to play the Tigers today in the spring finale, but both teams agreed to skip it due to pitching shortages, making the 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays on Monday into the actual end of the Grapefruit League season.
It seems to be an odd excuse given how large spring rosters often are. But it make sense given the proximity to Opening Day and the fact that the minor league players have started to roll out.
