After checking in on the manager search, “Banner Baseball Show” cohost Paul Mancano and Orioles beat reporter Andy Kostka discuss Adley Rutschman’s pivotal offseason.
You have to take Toronto seriously from now on, and you can’t just assume it won’t deliver when it matters. The Yankees and Red Sox always reside in that category where the division is concerned.

Elias’ Orioles just finished a dispiriting 87-loss season, one in which the club’s offseason of short-term deals and stopgap measures caught much of the blame.
