Leading Off

The Winter meetings are in full swing. Expect lots of exciting, vague statements including the phrases “reportedly” and “sources.” Also expect heartbreak – it’s the birthright of every Orioles fan. The O’s have been somewhat busy, inking Mark Trumbo and (depending who you believe) have a deal in place with Darren O’Day.

After doing that, the O's are now at $142 million, with essentially the same roster that went 81-81, minus its best pitcher.
