The Baltimore Orioles still seem hard at work getting their MLB roster in shape ahead of Opening Day 2026. Few teams have matched the work the Orioles have done this offseason already with the additions of Shane Baz, Pete Alonso, Ryan Helsley, and Taylor Ward, among others, yet they are still among the frontrunners for the top starting pitchers still available on the market. However, attention will soon turn (however briefly) to the prospect side of things with the impending opening of international free agency.
On January 15, the Orioles will be able to sign eligible international free agents along with the rest of the league, though most will be mere formalities, as many of these agreements started with handshake agreements long ago.
