As we enter the offseason, the O's are a _______ win team

[ChuckS]

88 wins if we do nothing and lose Santander and Burnes.  You have to project some improvement considering the average age of the nucleus.  Most players are in or entering their prime.  I am still betting on Holliday and Mayo, as bad as both of them were in 2024. 

I think adding a TOR starter and backend bullpen piece (not including Bautista) can get us to 95 wins.

How so?  It's pretty simple.  How good do you think the team is based on what is signed for the 2025 season.  It can't get much easier than that.

As constructed they're probably an 85 win team with a chance at 80 to 90 wins. 

[Sanfran327]

This is still a 90 win team

[Ripken]

Right now?  82ish.

I didn't say it was difficult. I just don't think it is realistic to think that we go into 25 with this team, so I don't know how relevant this discussion is. Just my opinion.

Likely no less than 20 current members of the org will be on the 2025 team.

Right now, I think 21 roster spots are filled.

87-88

Agreed. 

[btdart20]

88 wins as is.  92+ with an SP.  95+ with a Holliday breakout.

[interloper]

I think the offseason goal is to try and add 5 regular season wins to this team. That should cover any margin of error to get them to 90 to 95 wins and reach the playoffs.

87 +or-5      Add a 1or 2 SP and backend bull pen piece bump it 8 to10. I'm betting Adley rebounds and Cowser/Holliday improve. Has to be a healthier season - right? My man Mullins has a wow walk year. Plus Gunnar for MVP!  Dreams are good too!!!!

[webbrick2010]

80 +/- 4

What they were for 2/3 of this year, a .500 baseball team

[HowAboutThat]

Right around .500, but at risk of worse. 
But I agree with the comment that it is a moot question. There won’t be many changes but they will be significant.

And the new coaches will have an effect as well.
