Jackson Holliday, the #1 prospect in the Orioles system and in all of Major League Baseball, will not be starting the season with the big league team after all. The Orioles announced on Friday afternoon along with a number of other roster cuts that Holliday has been reassigned to minor league camp, meaning that he won’t be on the Opening Day roster.
Other cuts that were made on Friday along with Holliday include: Heston Kjerstad and Kyle Stowers being optioned to the minors, and all of the following non-roster players being reassigned to minor league camp: David Bañuelos, Coby Mayo, Connor Norby, and Albert Suárez.
