After their 101 wins and best record in the American League came out of nowhere last year, there were huge expectations that this young roster would be able to improve upon that asSo far, that has largely been the case despite some cold stretches which happen for every team over the course of a long season.
The Orioles will undoubtedly be buyers at the trade deadline, but what area of their roster they want to upgrade is largely unknown. How aggressive they're willing to be with their pipeline is also a question mark, considering general manager Mike Elias doesn't like to part with top prospects. While they sit back and look for potential upgrades before the July 30 trade deadline, one of Baltimore's former sluggers is eyeing a comeback to Major League Baseball.However, the 32-year-old also understands where he is at in his career and that it might be difficult for him to find a place on a team this season or going forward.
"There hasn't been too much coming my way on the Hot Stove either, though, so I understand where the game's going, I understand my age and my position, and I had an extended period of time where I wasn't performing like I previously had. So all that mixed together isn't the best combination ...," he added.He had an incredible run with the Orioles, hitting .270/.334/.463 with 117 homers and 350 RBI during his six years with Baltimore.
