It seems Zach Britton won’t be battling in at least the first half of 2018:
Britton ruptured his right Achilles tendon yesterday while working out at agent Scott Boras’ training center in California. The Orioles found out about it last night, according to executive vice president Dan Duquette, who confirmed the injury.
“We’re trying to get our arms around it and it looks like surgery is indicated,” Duquette said.
Asked for a timetable, Duquette replied, “We have to get a little bit more information from the surgery, but it looks like six months.”
This is going to be a really interesting off-season for the Orioles. They don’t look like a very good team, especially if they trade away Manny Machado. Duquette is a very good GM, so I’m really interested to see if he tries to put together a better than expected team, or steps back to take a couple of seasons to rebuild.
By the way, here are Britton’s relative discussing politics:
