The Orioles went hard after free agent first basemen and Baltimore area native Mark Teixeira, but lost out in the negotiations to the hated New York Yankees when he signed a 8 year 180 million dollar contract. Orioles fans are angry that the Orioles did not sign Teixeira. Fans had hoped to have a new hometown hero in the Cal Ripken mold to route for, but while the Orioles were serious contenders in the free agent sweepstakes they may not have been a serious option due to their 11 year losing streak.
