The Baltimore Orioles made the postseason for a second consecutive season after finishing second in the American League East with a record of 91-71.
After winning the division in 2023 with a record of 101-61, the Orioles had high hopes for the playoffs but fell short, getting swept in their first series.
In 2024, the Orioles were swept in their first series again, ending another disappointing postseason.
This offseason, the Orioles have added Tyler O’Neill, Gary Sanchez and Charlie Morton while losing ace starting pitcher Corbin Burnes.
One MLB analyst recently revealed his thoughts on the Orioles’ offseason so far.
“I just feel like it’s mid,” Erik Kratz said, via Foul Territory.

Kratz reacted to the Morton signing by questioning if that was really the move that they needed to make.
The 41-year-old has played 17 MLB seasons in his career for five teams.
In 2024 with the Atlanta Braves, Morton started 30 games and was 8-10 with a 4.19 ERA and 167 strikeouts in 165.1 innings pitched.
Many people are waiting for the Orioles to make a splash move and sign a big-name player this offseason, but it hasn’t happened yet.
With the AL East containing the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, the Orioles will need to make some bigger moves if they want to remain competitive for a division title in 2025.
The Orioles haven’t won a World Series since 1983, and they hope to change their recent struggles in the postseason.
