Despite Flirtation With Jays, Duquette Gets Warm Reception At FanFest

Orioles Exec VP/Baseball Operations Dan Duquette yesterday "took the stage to a warm reception and partial standing ovation" for a Q&A with season-ticket holders at the team's annual FanFest. The event "drew more than 16,000 attendees," marking the "second-highest total at FanFest -- trailing only the 2013 event, which had more than 18,000 fans in attendance." Despite still not "addressing his long-term future beyond the upcoming season," Duquette, who was reportedly a candidate to replace Blue Jays CEO Paul Beeston, "was quick in telling fans that he's committed to building a contending club this season" (Baltimore SUN, 2/1).
