The Baltimore Orioles got an early start to their offseason when they extended the contract of J.J. Hardy on a three-year, $40 million extension earlier this month. However, that's just the beginning of a few big decisions ahead for general manager Dan Duquette.

The first order of business will be trying to retain two key free agents in outfielder/designated hitter Nelson Cruz and one of the best left-handed relievers in the game in Andrew Miller.
