Good Morning, Birdland!
It feels like the offseason is truly starting to kick off now. Nearly all of the players that were given the qualifying offer are now free agents. The non-tender deadline has passed, which created another batch of interesting free agents. Even a somewhat big trade went down between the Reds and Royals. Things are happening!
The Orioles are still hanging out in the background, with most teams. They did see Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander turn down the QO earlier in the week, and then on Friday the front office decided against tendering Jacob Webb a contract for 2025.
