Baltimore Orioles Prepare for Spring Training Amid Roster Changes

As spring training approaches, the Baltimore Orioles face scrutiny over their offseason roster decisions, particularly the loss of key players like Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander. While the current roster appears less talented on paper, the team is banking on its promising young talent, including Grayson Rodriguez and Tyler O’Neill, to thrive. The Orioles have bolstered their pitching depth by signing veterans Charlie Morton and Tomoyuki Sugano, but questions remain about their ability to compete without a traditional ace. Analysts suggest that the team may need to acquire a top-tier starter or see significant development from younger pitchers to contend in the American League. Meanwhile, the front office is hopeful about the potential of players like Trey Gibson to elevate their pitching prospects. Overall, the team enters spring training with mixed optimism and uncertainty regarding their competitive standing for the upcoming season.
