Good morning, Birdland!
The abbreviated spring training is already starting to wind down. With just a week left in camp, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde and GM Mike Elias are getting a clearer picture of what their squad will look like to begin the 2022 season. Unsurprisingly, it will not be dotted with many of the organization’s exciting young players.
The latest round of cuts saw the O’s option DL Hall, Kyle Bradish, and Yusniel Diaz to Triple-A. The day before that they sent out Terrin Vavra and Kevin Smith. Adley Rutschman is currently on the shelf with a minor arm injury, and there is no indication that Grayson Rodriguez is going to earn an elevation to the 40-man roster anytime soon.
