Matt Wieters’ Orioles career has seemingly come to a close. The Orioles have signed Welington Castillo and have Chance Sisco waiting in the wings to take over for the stalwart that was Wieters’ as the Orioles catcher. The organization did not seem all that interested in ever resigning Wieters this off season and even if they stated otherwise they probably did not want him to accept the qualifying offer last off season. Fans seem to be mostly okay with the move which would have been ridiculous if you said that back in 2009.
Matt Wieters was rated the number one prospect in all of baseball in 2009 by Baseball Prospectus and number two by MLB.
