Baltimore Orioles

Baltimore wasn't dissuaded by the reliever’s 7.20 ERA with the Mets.

Should the O’s splurge on Pete Alonso or Alex Bregman, or play it safe with a bench bat?

The Orioles are checking a key winter wish list item by agreeing to a deal with right-handed reliever Ryan Helsley, a source confirmed.

At its best, this collection of outfielders is a group you can win with.

This crop of free-agent outfielders could yield more than one nine-figure signing. Here are five the Orioles could add this winter.

Shildt, who also managed the St. Louis Cardinals from 2018-21, retired from his role in San Diego following a second consecutive playoff exit.

Is it worth dedicating a roster spot to a backup for Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo?

“Last year was a start, but we have scouts in the front office who are experienced in Asia,” Elias said. “They make multiple trips a year.”

Arnold has been part of Baltimore’s announcing crew since 2020.

The Orioles might not have room for two right-handed hitting first basemen.

Ward hit 36 home runs with the Los Angeles Angels last season.

Before Rodriguez, there were Cody Sedlock, Matt Hobgood, Adam Loewen and more.

“I think it’s going to hopefully make the rest of the lineup better,” Elias said. “He [Ward] really fit us, and there weren’t a lot of big power right-handed guys on the market this year.”

The full group of players tendered contracts at Friday’s deadline: Mountcastle, left-hander Keegan Akin, right-hander Kyle Bradish, shortstop Gunnar Henderson, right-hander Yennier Cano, right-hander Dean Kremer, left-hander Trevor Rogers, catcher Adley Rutschman, outfielder Taylor Ward, right-hander Tyler Wells and right-hander Felix Bautista.

Anderson was a three-time All-Star who hit 210 homers, including 50 in 1996.

Some performance and playing time trends suggest the Orioles could be ready to move on from Mountcastle and hand first base to Coby Mayo.

The emphasis on hiring former catchers should only be a benefit for Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo.

The Orioles traded Grayson Rodriguez. You can legitimately wonder if he’s even going to have a prime, but if he does, he’d be entering it the moment he dons an Angels uniform.

Tuesday night's stunning move leaves Baltimore very thin in the rotation.

The trickle-down effect of this trade is felt in the outfield and rotation heavily, and it could be a precursor for something much larger from president of baseball operations Mike Elias.
