In their first offseason under new ownership, the Baltimore Orioles have done some spending. But they haven’t pulled off anything as bold as when they traded for Corbin Burnes a year ago.

In their first offseason under new ownership, the Orioles have done some spending, but they haven’t pulled off anything as bold as trading for Burnes. Baltimore has added outfielders Tyler O’Neill and Dylan Carlson, starting pitchers Charlie Morton and Tomoyuki Sugano, reliever Andrew Kittredge and backup catcher Gary Sánchez. Aside from O’Neill, none of those acquisitions came with more than a one-year commitment from the team.

“There’s positives to it when you have year-to-year flexibility,” Elias said. “But I’m expecting that will evolve and maybe not remain the case. Maybe this time next year, we’re talking about something different.” Fried’s deal might very well be riskier than what the Orioles did, but there’s a reason pitchers like that command longer contracts. Baltimore’s success in 2025 may come down to whether the rotation holds up after losing Burnes and adding only short-term solutions in free agency.
