I mean, they signed him at bargain price as a FA. They could have afforded to overpay/over extend. And yet, we have useless Chris Davis for life. lol,
Sadly, the Orioles are terribly run, an embarrassment to the rich tradition, and there is no excuse for it. They got really lucky when Buck was willing to take the managerial job. Outside of those 4-5 years, they have been a perennial loser since 1998, and there is literally no reason for it. The fans deserve better.
