There has been already several places that have been thrown around for potential spring training sites if the O's do not get a new stadium in FT.Lauderdale.
Sarasota, who lost the Cincinnati Reds to Arizona, could be one possible location due to the higher cost that the Red Sox would demand in a new stadium over the Orioles who have indicated that they will take a renovated one, which makes things cheaper for the city.
Vero Beach could also be a probable location in the future with the Dodgers moving over to the west coast. Since, the Orioles signed an exclusivity agreement with them making the Orioles the only team they can talk to until it expires near Halloween time. Also the Orioles appear to be the only team that might want to move to Dodgertown and is contractually able to due so.
The final place could be Ft.Myers who could lose the Red Sox to Sarasota, thus leaving a vacant slot.
Overall there are many places in Florida that the Orioles have the possibility of having their spring training operations their in the next couple of years.
