What went wrong: Failure to replace key pieces didn't put Orioles in position to succeed

To pinpoint exactly when the Orioles' 2015 season veered off the tracks and a 96-win division champion became an also-ran, you first have to go back to before the calendar flipped. In early December, three key 2014 Orioles officially signed lucrative four-year deals with other teams. In each instance, executive vice president Dan Duquette had an explanation for letting the player walk.

What went wrong: Starting rotation drops off after standout 2014

Last season, the Orioles rotation posted a remarkable 2.98 ERA after the All-Star break, emerging as the biggest strength down the stretch as the club won its first division title in 17 years.

Schmuck: Results of Orioles' latest chemistry experiment point toward playoff contention
