When the 2025 Orioles take the field six weeks from now in Toronto, it will represent the beginning of a new era for this Baltimore lineup. Anthony Santander, the man who occupied the three hole 255 times for the Os over the previous three years, will be in the other dugout. A team whose lineup has undergone the ultimate facelift under Mike Elias & Co. will once again be asked to reinvent itself.
While the front office brought in Tyler O’Neill to fill Santander’s ABs, projections suggest the Orioles will first look to replace his impact from within.
