The Baltimore Orioles have kicked off their offseason by exercising team options for Ryan O’Hearn, Seranthony Domínguez, and Cionel Pérez, while surprisingly declining Danny Coulombe's option. With an eye on enhancing their roster, the team faces critical decisions regarding arbitration-eligible players and potential free agents like Anthony Santander and Corbin Burnes.
As they navigate these choices, the Orioles must address gaps in their lineup and rotation, especially at first base and right field. The return of closer Félix Bautista from injury adds depth to the bullpen, but questions remain about overall pitching strength. With new ownership under David Rubenstein, the team may be poised for significant spending to bolster their chances for a World Series run.
