The Orioles’ major league camp cuts of eight players Sunday made at least one thing pretty clear: Executive vice president-general manager Mike Elias and manager Brandon Hyde aren’t concerned that players likely to contribute to the major league club at some point this season are around for Opening Day.
If they were, the likes of three spring standouts — outfielders Austin Hays and Anthony Santander plus reliever Cody Carroll — plus intriguing homegrown reliever Branden Kline, right-handers Yefry Ramirez and Gabriel Ynoa, and infielders Stevie Wilkerson and Christopher Bostick all might still be around and vying for a spot on the roster.
