The Orioles are not in a good place at the moment. They are less than two years removed from a playoff berth and their fortunes appear to have slipped in monumental fashion. They have watched as several other teams in their division have made big moves, while their fan base has had to endure conversations about the all-but-inevitable departure of Manny Machado either by trade or free agency. They are due to be without All-Star closer Zach Britton until at least mid-season, and the only other news coming from the Charm City lately has been the coming to terms and avoiding arbitration with Jonathan Schoop. They have some major holes in their roster that you could drive a dump truck through, with the most notable of these being with their starting rotation after Dylan Bundy and Kevin Gausman. Both really nice pitchers but neither of whom projects as a true number one right now in any sense.

Baltimore is in a bad way and they need to do something, ANYTHING, to try and keep from getting run out of the AL East. The easiest and most obvious thing they can do is go out and sign outfielder Jarrod Dyson. But while doing so solves an obvious on-the-field deficiency, it also creates layers of complications further down the road.
