After you judge the offseason do you think the Orioles will be better or worse next year?

Orioles will not be a contender but they also won't be the worst. I expect them to in the middle of the pack. They might get a chance at the second wild card spot.

Worse.

The Orioles aren't going to contend anytime soon and they know it. If they had a snowball's chance in hell of contending they never would have withdrawn the offer to Davis. Withdrawing an offer to a player is about the same as saying "thanks for the memories". The Orioles haven't done anything to improve their pitching staff which was in the bottom half of the AL last year. They can't sign "new" pitchers to fix this because the quality free agent pitchers already resigned elsewhere. With improvements the Red Sox made, they'll be slugging it out with Tampa for last place.

Your question indicates we need to wait until the offseason is over before one has an opinion.

I suggest you follow your own lead.

It depends on what else they do in this offseason, and what kind of a start they have, as well as how they do this summer, and next fall.

Ask this again in September (2016) and you'll get a better response, too early to determine these things,

They will be worse. The Red Sox have improved a ton.

They will be worse. The Red Sox have improved a ton.

offseason continues until Mar 31st next year. judging now would constitute pre-judging. come back later.

Worse. Not making the play-offs again.

Depends on what Chris Davis does
