New GM giving O’s and their fans jolt of excitement

With the possible exception of the Mariners — who always seem to give their fans just enough hope to make them even sadder when they fall just short — I’m not sure there’s any team it has been more frustrating to be a fan of the last few years than the Orioles. Baltimore was the winningest team in the American League from 2012-16, a statistic that’s more remarkable the more you think about it, but there was always a sense they were doing it with smoke, mirrors and Buck Showalter.
