Acquiring the Orioles is Baltimore’s best solution

The Baltimore Orioles had a glorious 2023 season. But are the Orioles really ours? Despite hundreds of millions of public dollars already spent on the team (not including lots of fan dollars) and $600 million offered by the state of Maryland to get a new lease, Orioles President John Angelos has not yet signed a new lease. According to news media reports, he’s demanding the elimination of rent payments and the right to commercially develop parking lots around the stadium with a 99-year ground rent.
