Kjerstad has a great chance to be the O's right fielder in 2025. -

Probably the most surprising part of our ML system this year is the advancement of young Latino pitchers. I tend to compare our system to the old Astros system. Luis Garcia and Christian Javier were never flame throwers. Both seemed to locate well with good sweepers. -

The Orioles certainly don’t need another SP but I do think they should be in the market for guys with multiple years of control who are an upgrade on the number 4 spot in the rotation. After Burnes, Bradish and Grayson, the Orioles have a lot of decent options in Kremer, Irvin, Suarez and Povich but upgrading on them could make a big difference in a playoff game. And that’s assuming we have those top 3 SP healthy in the playoffs. There’s a limited number of spots to upgrade this team before the playoffs. After the back end of the bullpen, the #4 spot in the rotation is most impactful. And with Burnes hitting free agency, there’s definitely a need to have another playoff-caliber SP. Crochet and Luzardo are the two most interesting potentially available SP with that extra control, and we know the Orioles had trade talks with both clubs this off-season. They know the Orioles’ system. The Orioles shouldn’t (and won’t) trade Holliday/Mayo/Basallo for them, but I think Kjerstad as the headliner is on the table and there’s a lot of other secondary and tertiary pieces in the system that could make a deal possible. -
With the balanced schedule, there should only be 1 wild card team. It is ridiculous to have a 162 game schedule that still puts 40% of the league into the playoffs. -

The 1921 IL Orioles had a 27-game winning streak, which was the professional record* until broken by the 1987 Salt Lake Trappers. That would be nice to beat. * The 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings won something like 81 consecutive games, but that was before leagues were established and many of the wins were against local amateur nines of questionable quality. -

Agreed, plus with Urias and Hays we have very small samples plus adjusting to new non-everyday roles. Mullins and Hays have a longer way to go but I may be most concerned about Mullins since his "slump" really started in the second half last year. -

No, it's not better to be a wild card team, it's better to win the division. But all you can do is play your best and hope the Yanks come back to the pack. You don't make short-term transactions and punt future wins to try to pass a 107-win Yankee team for the division title.
