The Baltimore Orioles seem to be squandering their opportunity to get a leg up on the rest of the league.

This is a contending team still behaving like a rebuilding one.

The O's have come up almost empty throughout free agency thus far.

The roster has much of the foundation in place to be a perennial winner, but they have some key missing pieces that can only be addressed via trades or free agency.

The Orioles are no longer the new kids on the block looking to surprise the American League .

They're still young, talented and hungry, but they're not sneaking up on anybody anymore.

The team failed to make any other significant moves at the deadline, finished second in the AL East and was swept out of the wild-card round.
