Baltimore Orioles

Pete Alonso is one of the best free agent hitters available, but how would they fit in Baltimore?

President of baseball operations Mike Elias said the Orioles have the payroll flexibility to acquire impact players for the lineup and rotation.

"In my career, at that time, he made me a better player and person, and just evolved the player that I am,” former Orioles catcher Austin Wynns said.

The largest item on Baltimore’s to-do list remains acquiring starting pitching, and the winter meetings may lead to a critical breakthrough as the baseball world descends on Central Florida.

The Orioles have begun rebuilding their bullpen, but there is work to be done to stabilize the middle innings — or even add another splash.

Framber Valdez and Ranger Suárez are the top southpaws on the market.

“I think we’ll have a good bullpen, and hopefully we’ll keep adding and make our team a little stronger," Helsley said. "We’re in a tough division, so it’s going to be a lot of fun this year with a lot of tight games."

“Hopefully we can find somebody who can provide innings and front-half-of-the-rotation stuff,” Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias said in November.

Samuel Basallo, Dylan Beavers and Trey Gibson top Baseball America’s list of the Orioles’ best prospects.

Hyde saw losing seasons turn into a division title in 2023, for which he earned the American League Manager of the Year award.

Even with Helsley having the ability to opt out of the second year of his two-year, $28 million deal after the 2026 season, we’re still talking about a significant investment in a reliever — and a very good one at that.

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.
