Yeah, sadly the merch train dictates on-field attire and not the other way around. Considering they put out the schedule in advance there must a minimum number of times they wear them.
So far since the program started in 2021, no one has gotten new CCs. But some teams (Colorado, LA Dodgers) have ditched the dark pants, so there is some hope the O's will do that.
I feel like Westburg has the higher ceiling and Ortiz has the higher floor. Assuming Holliday is a ML-level SS defensively, Westburg probably projects to be the more valuable player to this team.
