Two seasons ago, Ramón Urías was an under-the-radar stud for the Orioles. His leather work earned him a Gold Glove at third base, and he wasn’t too shabby at the plate either (105 OPS+). But that production in 2022 did not lead to the sort of increased role it might have warranted. In fact, Urías saw the field even less last year, which coincided with a dip in his own production. Now, as spring training kicks into high gear, his role on the team could be evaporating entirely.
The Orioles’ big league infield is pretty stacked. Gunnar Henderson has entrenched himself on the left side for years to come, and all signs are pointing towards Jackson Holliday doing the same very soon.
