Orioles Fans Erupt After CEO Says Concerts Are Higher Priority Than Actual Baseball Team

The Baltimore Orioles were a bit of a surprise last season after going on a hot streak late in the year.

They ultimately failed to make the playoffs. However, this team has a ton of potential with numerous rising stars on the roster.

With that said, the fanbase is still mightily upset with the front office right now. Not because of the lack of solid prospects, but because of what the CEO prioritizes.

According to Nathan Ruiz, the Orioles CEO John Angelos lists his three priorities. In order, they are “bringing concerts to Camden Yards, the partnership with the city, then the team.”

In addition to that, Angelos very clearly makes it known that his job is not to predict payroll for the team.

Look, the reason Camden Yards even exists in the first place is because of the Orioles. For that reason, you’d think acquiring the best baseball team possible would be the top priority.

Instead, John Angelos focuses his attention on bringing concerts to the stadium.

In all fairness, the concerts likely bring in a ton money and are is considered year-round revenue. Even so, Orioles fans can’t believe their ears.

The concert money is not likely going into the payroll for the roster.

Orioles fans have had it!

The fanbase wants change.

Overall, this isn’t the best look for John Angelos. Especially considering how surprisingly good the team was last season.

Code Reds: How Chris Valaika Plans To Make His Mark On Reds Hitting Approach
CINCINNATI -- Chris Valaika has worked with some of the top young hitters in baseball in his last three years with the Cleveland Guardians as hitting instructor. He worked with Steven Kwan and Jose Ramirez, helping to turn the Guardians into one of the most feared lineups in the American League. Can he work that same magic with the likes of Matt McLain and Elly De La Cruz? New Reds skipper Terry Francona hired Valaika in 2022 and worked with him for two seasons. Now, Francona has brought Valaika on board for the similar role with the Reds. Trags talks with Valaika about he plans to work with Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain and the other talented and promising prospects on the Reds roster.

Either way, look for the Orioles to possibly be a problem this year. Their long list of rising stars makes them a very interesting team.
