Baltimore Orioles

If they like a place on a road trip, they’ll go back every day they are in that city. If they don’t, they’ll go back to the drawing board and find a new spot the next day.

The outfielder signed a five-year, $92.5 million contract with the Blue Jays that includes a sixth-year option that could raise the total value to $110 million.

The festivities start at 2:30 p.m., but Birdland Members will gain access an hour early for a Q&A with assistant general manager Sig Mejdal.

Although the shorter left field wall may lead to greater power numbers for pull-side righties such as Ryan Mountcastle, the left-handed hitters have as much to gain from a more friendly dimension.
