Does that also apply to the Orioles making baseball decisions? ventually happen.I will say this, beyond the failure to sign any of the three big Cuban players, the Orioles have yet to do anything since the season ended that has truly angered me. For example, they did not hire Brad Ausmus Tony Perez Jersey , a proven bad manager, to be their manager. The Angels did. So far, the Orioles have not handed over the keys to the franchise to some old school GM with no intention of getting with the times. Maybe they will, but it hasn’t happened to this point.LinksGast贸n latest international prospect to elude Orioles - MASN SportsMissing out on Victor Victor Mesa made some sense. He always seemed to be destined for the Marlins. But it sure sounds like the team isn’t even interested in offering market value for these players. That’s not being competitive. That’s not doing anything you can to put a good product on the field. That’s going through the motions to appease the fans and the industry. That, simply put, is not good enough.Can O’s make splash after missing int’l stars? - MLB.comGhiroli goes over all of the questions you may have after the O’s failed to sign any of the big name Cuba amateurs. There would seem to be two options from here: sign no one/a few more small time players OR wait and see if anyone of note emerges from Asia or Mexico, two markets that have not sprouted any fruit yet this year. They have until June 15 to use up the $6+ million they have.Can the next group of O’s coaches help get Dylan Bundy back on track? - The AthleticThey need to. I have never been a coach at any level, but I write on a blog pretty regularly, so that has to count for something. Dylan Bundy does not seem to be THAT far away from being a pretty good MLB pitcher again. The dude gives out home runs like candy. Fix that and we are more than halfway there.Someone come get your man with this stuff over here...Orioles birthdays and historyIs it your birthday? Happy Birthday! Omar Quintanilla played in 36 games as an infielder for the 2012 Orioles. He turns 37 today. Arthur Rhodes pitched to a 4.86 ERA over 622.1 innings spread across nine seasons in Baltimore. The lefty is now 49 years old. And finally Charm City’s own Dave Johnson spent three years in Birdland from 1989 through 1991 and accumulated a 4.84 ERA over 353.1 innings. The 59-year-old now does analysis for MASN and 105.7 The Fan.Apparently there have not been many monumental events pertaining to the Orioles to take place on October 24, so here are some interesting moments in baseball history on this date:1920 - Eight members of the famous “Black Sox” are indicted for supposedly tanking and purposely losing the 1919 World Series to the underdog Cincinnati Reds in eight games.1967 - Joe DiMaggio is hired to be vice president and coach of the recently transplanted Oakland Athletics.1997 - Game 4 in Cleveland becomes the coldest in World Series history. The Indians beat the Marlins 10-3 in 38 degree weather.2000 - The Yankees beat the Mets 6-5 in Game 2 of the World Series, but the only thing that most people will remember is when Roger Clemens throws a chunk of a broken bat at Mike Piazza http://www.redsfanproshop.com/authentic-cliff-pennington-jersey , who was jogging down the first base line on a foul ball.2017 - The Red Sox announce the hiring of Alex Cora, bench coach of the Houston Astros, as their new manager. Third baseman Nolan Arenado agreed to a one-year, $26 million deal with the Colorado Rockies through arbitration, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.That's the most money one player has received through the arbitration process, according to Rosenthal. Per Dan Gartland of Sports Illustrated, the previous high was the $23 million that third baseman Josh Donaldson earned with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2018.Arenado has led the National League in home runs three of the past four seasons. A six-time Gold Glove winner and four-time All-Star, Arenado had 38 home runs, 110 RBI and a .297/.374/.561 slash line last year. He's finished in the top 10 of NL MVP voting four times and is entering his age-28 campaign.The Rockies had made the playoffs just three times in their first 24 years of existence, but Arenado has helped Colorado reach the postseason in back-to-back seasons for the first time.The future will be bright in Colorado as long as the team inks Arenado to a long-term deal during next year's offseason, when he'll becomeafree agent.Jon Heymanof Fancred http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-paul-konerko-jersey , who reported that the club and player were $6 million apart before the sides met close to the middle, alsomentionedthat "it's very hard to see [Arenado] signing before free agency.As far as the 2019 season goes, the Rockies should be playoff contenders once again.While they did lose second baseman D.J. LeMahieu and relief pitcher Adam Ottavino (and potentially Carlos Gonzalez, who is still a free agent), the Rockies added Daniel Murphy, who has slashed .326/.375/.542 over the past three seasons. Also, southpaw Kyle Freeland looks like a bona fide staff ace after he went 17-7 with a 2.85 ERA last year.Colorado opens its 2019 campaign on the road against the Miami Marlins on Thursday, March 28.
