.@AqibTalib21 compares Lamar showing up to the Ravens' offseason workouts to former teammate Tom Brady in 2013 🔥
"Everybody remember this day. The day that Lamar bought in. They gonna become an even more dangerous team than they've already been."
Tyler O'Neill with an interesting and insightful answer when he was asked if the vibes in the Orioles' clubhouse are different this year:
"I think there's a little more veteran presence out here. That's not to take anything away from the core here. The core here is very special, young, talented, homegrown. But getting Pete in here — Pete's been great with the clubhouse, the guys, keeps everyone on the same level. Really awesome to see his personality and the way he goes out about his business on a day to day. Pitching staff is just more experienced, more veteran feel over there.
"They made some good trades this offseason, made some good signs. Already on a good slate. We were already really talented in this clubhouse with what we had, but we made a lot of really good acquisitions. You can tell the front office and ownership, they really want to win this year, and we just want to put on a good show for the fans and go from there"
