The Baltimore Orioles have just over $51 million dollars committed to player salaries in 2019, good for 7th least in MLB. The majority of the roster will return under team control next year, allowing for major roster flexibility and a very low payroll total.
Just four players return on veteran contracts: Chris Davis, Mark Trumbo, Alex Cobb and Andrew Cashner. Chris Davis won’t be moved due to his contract, but all four of them should be on the trading block this off-season.
There are six players eligible for arbitration raises in 2019: Jonathan Villar, Tim Beckham, Dylan Bundy, Mychal Givens, Caleb Joseph and Jace Peterson.
