All of these moves were done relatively cheap.
No one expected Wieters to take the QO so nothing they could do about that.
Im not going to complain about the Orioles spending money to keep Davis when for years before they never would spend big money to kerp guys or sign free agents. Everyone is expecting the Davis signing to blow up in their face, but it csnt be any worse than Albert Belle, vlad Guerrero, Sammy Sosa, NOT resigning nelson Cruz after 2014, etc..
The only potential worry any Os fan has is thst Davis contract might hinder them from being able to resign Machado who will get a bigger payday than anyone gotbthis offseason..

I've already pointed out who they could've signed. Lol at you trying to justify the Davis deal by mentioning three guys who spent 2 years on the team at the most. You act like Belle was an albatross and he wasn't. He was actually a productive hitter.
It definitely is going to be worse because they're paying him boat loads of money for more years than any of those guys. What a daft comparison.
Like I said, Justin Upton, Johnny Cueto, Jordan Zimmerman along with Kim, Trumbo if they'd like, and Gallardo and possibly Fowler would've all worked for the money they've blown thus far, and those first three would've made them better than they are now with bringing back 3 guys from the same team as last year. A brilliant strategy.
