That might be an appropriate comparison had the Orioles won something recently, i.e. not 1983, and there was a good team to break apart. But trading Tejada, arguably the O's star player, is a strange move.
Since even before the Nationals moved into DC, the Orioles were bleeding fans. I was a witness to that, as I went to every Sunday home game for about 5 seasons through the Nationals first season. Trading Tejada away certainly does not help. I'll admit, I'm not familiar with the Astros the Orioles got in return. But from what I've read, they don't have a whole lot of experience. For O's fans, let's hope they become good players.
Back to Tejada leaving, how will Camden Yards be filled? Bedard is on the block. I even heard rumors that the Cubs are interested in Brian Roberts. So we're left with who?
