by Ryan Cobbett - 3/11/2026

After a dominant stretch as a playoff caliber squad, the Baltimore Orioles dropped all the way to the basement in the AL East last season. A worst-to-first season would be led by the addition of Pete Alonso and a rotation that would be stabilized by the ever-consistent Kyle Bradish. Depth won’t be an issue for Baltimore.
