The 2019 Baltimore Orioles are a team full of potential trade pieces and placeholder players, with outfielder Joey Rickard being a prime example of one of those placeholder players. With names like Yusniel Diaz, Ryan McKenna, Cedric Mullins, Austin Hays, and even a guy like Robert Neustrom, all continuing their development in the minor leagues, the Orioles will, ideally, have a solid pool of outfield candidates to choose from over the next few years.
One name who has risen above the rest, in terms of major league readiness, is Norfolk Tides outfielder, DJ Stewart.
