The Orioles' 2016 season halted in a blink, a walkoff homer by Blue Jays first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion at Rogers Centre in the 11th inning Oct. 4 allowing the Blue Jays to soar deeper into the playoffs and forcing the Orioles to go home.
That abrupt ending left this team with a lot of questions heading into the offseason.
Will the club re-sign any of its pending free agents, including longtime starting catcher Matt Wieters or major league home run-leading outfielder/designated hitter Mark Trumbo?
