Orioles, Royals, Giants Plan Crucial Offseasons

The Baltimore Orioles are entering a crucial offseason, facing decisions on re-signing ace Corbin Burnes, though he may be too costly, leading to interest in pitchers like Max Fried and Roki Sasaki as alternatives. The Orioles' strong farm system, with prospects like Samuel Basallo, sets them up for future success, but they must stay competitive in the American League East. The team might also explore trades and free-agent acquisitions, such as targeting Ryan Helsley for their closer role and considering Max Scherzer for the rotation. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals aim to strengthen their roster after a Wild Card spot, with Taylor Ward as a potential trade target. The San Francisco Giants face a challenging offseason to address talent gaps and remain competitive, potentially losing Blake Snell to free agency.
