The Orioles solidified their plans for the start of 2022 by announcing their Opening Day roster on Wednesday. The list of 28 names resolves any spring competitions, but leaves several questions left to play out as the season begins.
Baltimore only announced four starting pitchers. A lack of bona fide starters and a shortened spring training will lead to plenty of innings for Baltimore’s bullpen. After a recent deal sent two of the O’s most tenured relievers away, it’s fair to wonder who exactly will be coming out of the bullpen at Camden Yards this year.
The Departures
The Orioles sacrificed experience and familiarity when they sent Tanner Scott and Cole Sulser to Miami last week.
