How I'd rank the FA SP options: 1. Valdez (some character questions, but would trust our staff & team to make that not be an issue) Gap 2. Imai (electric stuff, young - unproven) 3. King (electric stuff, injury concerns) Gap 4. Suarez (great results, concerning velocity)

Sources: Red Sox, Yankees, and Orioles are competing for Michael King and the RHP from BC hopes to make a decision soon. King, 30, was 18-12, 3.10 for the Padres the last two seasons. Profiles as the No. 2 the Sox need. We'll see if they step up. King certainly knows the terrain of the AL East.

The last game that Pete Alonso missed was June 17th, 2023. 416 consecutive games played.

Opening Day Tickets secured

After signing Pete Alonso, the Baltimore Orioles are still in hot pursuit of a front-line starter. Tatsuya Imai, Ranger Suarez, Framber Valdez are all potential options while they also continue to aggressively monitor trade options.

Got an ESPN alert and could only see: "Pete Alonso finalizing..." And was so pissed 😂 Today is healing haha

Nice

If we're being honest, the Orioles need to add 2 starting pitchers this offseason. Ideally something like: 1. Addition 2. Bradish 3. Rogers 4. Addition 5. Kremer And Cabrera would be an excellent 2nd addition. Gotta go after King, Imai or Valdez still. But would be a good get

Way I see it. This is a "no more excuses" offseason We don't get the talent we need, then Mike should be on the hot seat. Explanations be damned Im not there over this. In fact im encouraged by this, that they offered that But it cant mirror last yr's "well at least we tried"

Look, if you think Elias is cheap for offering a DH $150M the yr after offering a SP $180M, then your head is in the sand or just like complaining THAT SAID. Cant go "well we tried" like we did last yr Overpay & get a premium SP. And if you really want to go for it, Pete Alonso too.

1 of Valdez & Ima 1 of King & Suarez 1 of Schwarber & Alonso And a set up man for the pen. And call it an offseason. Happy to be delusional until it's impossible lol (There are other small moves you could do to sure up the pen more and outfield, etc. But this would work haha)

Ryan Mountcastle is just 2 HRs away from being the 31st player in Orioles history to hit 100 with the club. @baseball-reference.com @stathead.com

The reality too is that Grayson had been inconsistent before his injuries (because most young pitchers are) and then hasnt pitched in a yr & a half. His arm *could* be special. But to think you know what you'd get the rest of his contract or to expect greatness, is a step beyond what I could do

Yea Os must: Be low on Grayson's ability to bounce back *and* Have SP plans in the works

Spend baby spend

Buck Britton, Drew French and Ryan Klimek are all expected to return to the Orioles coaching staff under manager Craig Albernaz, per source. Last year, French was pitching coach, Klimek was pitching strategy coach and Britton was interim third base coach. TBD on exact titles.

This is pretty funny not gonna lie 😂

This is so nice! We'll get into the baseball side of things soon enough, but it's so heart warming to see this guy and his young family have just a banner day that he won't forget.

A big 2026 for Enrique Bradfield Jr An elite CF defender, with elite speed and a good eye at the plate. No power to speak of - so needs to get on base with that eye, speed and contact. In 77 games in AA: .276/.394/.390 41 for 48 SBs Let's see how the bat (and health) will hold up in AAA

Most games pitched for the Orioles in a 3 yr stretch (only including the most these individuals did in a 3 yr stretch) 221 - BJ Ryan 217 - Jim Johnson 210 - Buddy Groom 207 - Yennier Cano *including 2025* Only 3 players have been used more times over 3 years.

As @Ken_Rosenthal and @Britt_Ghiroli wrote, the Orioles promoted Mike Elias before this season to become president of baseball operations, source confirmed. Elias has been general manager and executive vice president since November 2018 in Baltimore

With just 17 games left, we know for a certainty that only Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday will finish the 2025 season having played 100+ games with the Orioles. Not counting 2020, which didnt even have 100 games, that's the fewest in team history to reach that mark. @baseball-reference.com
