Orioles drafted Nestor Cortes and Jose Mesa from NYY and Pedro Araujo from the Cubs in the Rule 5 draft. All pitchers. They also signed pitcher Michael Kelly to a major league contract and will assign him to Norfolk.

Looks like Manny is going bye-bye.
No worries though, Rafael Palmeiro is making a comeback!

So Dan Duquette to me is putting himself on a very, very hot seat heading into the season. Machado soon to be gone, discussing getting rid of Britton, this isn't some house cleaning rebuild team we have. We've been competitive and battling for the playoffs, hell we won the AL East for the first time in 17 years only 3 years ago in 2014. Now all of it gone in one offseason. Baltimore Sun is also reporting that Duquette has said the O's won't be in the market for a pitcher commanding more than a 2 or 3 year deal. We should have let him walk to Toronto since he so badly wanted to go, and then the Nationals wanted him. We just need to let him go to whatever team he truly wants to be with after 2018 and hire a better GM.
Tired of this team being cheap, why the hell can't we have the same luck the Ravens have. Pay the right guys, let the over paid guys go and flunder while we still flourish.

Yankees are out if the Harper sweepsteaks and Nats are in preliminary talks with Scott Boras. No way they let him walk.

Dodgers make a massive trade to get a ton of money off of the books for this year, and next year.
Guess who's going to LA

So Manny trade talk has cooled down. He wants to play shortstop.

Britton ruptured his Achilles.

Oriole pitcher Zach Britton ruptured his right Achilles during a workout. I imagine the Orioles will release him and save $12 million

I'm probably wrong about this, but I think the Orioles would still be paying him if they release him.

I thought he wasn't signed yet since he was scheduled to go to arbitration.

I'm not really sure, but I'll try to find out later how that would work.

I just read it is too late for the O's not to tender him a contract, so I guess Britton will still go to arbitration. If the Orioles release him before the 16th day of spring training the Orioles can avoid all but 30 days of his salary.

Should've traded him when we had the chance lol

Teams are balking at the fact he would be a one year rental with how much he is looking for in his new contract
Contracts are guaranteed in every sport except football
