Mountcastle seems entrenched at first base, but the rest of the setup is a mystery with the likes of Henderson, Urías, and Mateo able to play all over the dirt.
The Orioles’ recent signing of Adam Frazier was simultaneously infuriating and intriguing. Although an All-Star in 2021, Frazier was poor for the Mariners last season, and while he might bounce back in 2023, he is far from the impact bat that this fan base was hoping a team with supposed playoff ambitions would attract this winter. However, at $8 million, it’s a big enough investment to suggest Frazier will enter the spring as a starter in some capacity.
