When a team finishes with the second-worst record in baseball there aren’t many positives to take away. The Orioles are no exception. They went 54-108 in 2019 and are set up to have a similarly miserable campaign in 2020. But that doesn’t mean that they won’t see some level of improvement on the field next summer.
There are opportunities for a leap forward up and down the roster. Austin Hays will upgrade the center field play from day one. With Richie Martin’s Rule 5 requirements fulfilled the shortstop position should see an upgrade. And the team may actually move on from Chris Davis.
