Frobby Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Just a guess, but I think the O’s will make some kind of notable move in the next week. Not necessarily anything that is huge, but acquiring someone who we’d expect to be on the 26-man roster next Opening Day. For example, last year the Gibson signing was on Dec. 5. Elias stated that he thinks the pitching market will move quickly this year. That leads me to think he’ll be active next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsFanSinceThe80s Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I’ll predict the Orioles will sign a relief pitcher and possibly make a trade for more pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since1984 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Best guess is the Orioles want to nail down at least a key acquisition early on. The payroll has flexibility the next several years and I expect the potential to trade one veteran and sign a key contributor to keep the payroll reasonable, while adding to pitching.

Hoping we get more than the Orioles being the notorious “mystery team” in on any high profile free agents or trades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Milligan Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I think we’ll get more of the same; players moving off the market and then finding a day or two later that the Orioles “had interest.” Would love to be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade a veteran? Trade for a starter first? Lease poll in 18 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMDTerrapins Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I expect the reports will say that we “had advanced discussions with a number of clubs and agents”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfield Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Have a little faith people. I think we got liftoff just not like we expected. And I think it would be a mistake to think we do nothing. I think we improve the ball club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
