It’s no exaggeration to say that the expectations for the 2024 Orioles are the highest they’ve been in decades. And why not? Coming off a 101-win season and AL East title, the Birds’ roster seems just as strong, if not more so. The acquisition of ace Corbin Burnes has made the rotation a real force, even with Kyle Bradish and John Means injured to start the year. The offense didn’t lose any players of significance over the winter and will be bringing several more prospects to the majors at some point this season, likely starting with Jackson Holliday.
On paper, it’s the most talented Orioles team in a long time.
