I don't trust John Angelos, but from the minute Elias got here, they seem to have followed his vision. I think the organization badly wants to do what the Astros have done, and that includes winning a World Series.
As for big contracts we will see, but I really don't want or expect the Orioles to sign a Player to a DeGrom type contract. This team is really good. Sign a Jordan Montgomery, add to the bull pen and find a right handed bat that uses the whole field. The left field wall is death on right handed hitters, so a high OBP, high average hitter would work.
Preach. That high OBP high average guy is likely a guy who hits to all fields.
