Good morning Birdland,
The Orioles made yet another mild splash this offseason, signing Ramón Laureano to a one-year, $4 million contract on Tuesday. It would seem that the strong-armed Laureano will factor into the team’s fourth outfielder competition, but you can never be sure of what Mike Elias is thinking.
If you look at the Orioles current roster, it is pretty darn full, maybe overflowing.
Behind the plate, Adley Rutschman and Gary Sánchez would appear to be locks to make the roster.
On the infield, it is setting up for Gunnar Henderson, Jackson Holliday, and Jordan Westburg being the starters at shortstop, second base, and third base.
