Good morning Birdland,
The Orioles gave us a little overnight surprise to wake up to. According to MASN’s Roch Kubatko (and since confirmed by many others), Coby Mayo is on his way to join the Orioles in Cleveland. The top prospect is getting promoted!
Mayo’s performance in Triple-A this season has been impressive. He owns a .294/.370/.581 line with 20 home runs. The bat has never been a concern, although there has certainly been some maturing done there. It’s the glove where questions pop-up.
Back in 2020, Mayo was drafted as a third baseman in the fourth round out of Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
