Britton was drafted by the Orioles in 2006 and climbed the ladder of the minor league of the team before landing in the major leagues in 2011.

"It's been a good 12 years" , did he declare. "There are so many things from baseball to marriage, to having children, everything has happened with this organization, it will stay forever in my heart and I hope that this is not the last time I play here. come back here and maybe finish it. "
