There are quite a few things that the Baltimore Orioles have done right this offseason. They were aggressive in free agency, signing both Pete Alonso and Ryan Helsley to address pressing needs, and they traded for a high-upside controllable pitcher in Shane Baz. Assuming Baltimore closes the offseason by landing one of the top free-agent starters still available, 10/10, no notes.
It's a scenario that has placed Baltimore at the center of the conversation when talking about American League contenders. It's also one that should allow fans to turn the page from a miserable 2025 season.
