There is plenty to debate regarding the “new” Baltimore Orioles and offseason with promise and hope for the franchise to take a major step forward under the ownership of David Rubenstein and the deft leadership of Mike Elias. That said, the Friday afternoon news dump of the Camden Yards left field wall and the lack of a free agency splash don’t feel like anything that will excite the fan base.
I’m still “under review” and denied media credentials. You’re still under review by every fan of the Baltimore Orioles and every citizen who chipped in $600 million toward your $1.725 billion asset. Be a better person and a better baseball owner than Peter Angelos. Be the noise for truth, accountability and decency. Make “The Next Chapter” a truly inclusive one, David.
