Good Morning, Birdland,
Much of the baseball world appears to be on hold while Juan Soto mulls over the multiple $600+ million offers he has been handed already this offseason. Teams that do not land Soto are expected to pivot to the more moderately priced free agents, including the Orioles’ top target, Corbin Burnes, as well as other priorities.
Soto is not going to be an Oriole, but where he lands will clearly have an impact on this team. If he picks one of the three AL East teams said to be in the mix, that would be a headache for years to come.
