‘Mark my words’: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore defends non-binding Orioles agreement, guarantees a lease will get done

Six days after the Orioles and the state of Maryland announced a 30-year deal to keep the team at Camden Yards and five days after it was revealed that the agreement was a memorandum of understanding, and not a lease, Gov. Wes Moore emphasized the deal’s importance and guaranteed a lease would get signed. “Mark my words, and you can bet on it, the Orioles will be here for 30 years,” Moore said in an impassioned speech Wednesday during a meeting of the Maryland Board of Public Works in Annapolis.
