The Baltimore Orioles made the postseason for a second consecutive season after finishing with a record of 91-71 and second in the American League East.
Although the Orioles have made the playoffs the past two seasons, they were swept in their first series each time.
In a tough AL East division that includes the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays, the Orioles hope for better outcomes in their future postseason appearances.
Heading into 2025, the Orioles announced that former player Adam Jones is taking on a new role with the team.
“Fabulous move by the Baltimore Orioles hiring former All-Star outfielder Adam Jones as special advisor to GM Mike Elias and Orioles community ambassador,” Bob Nightengale of USA Today wrote on X.

Jones played for the Orioles from 2008 to 2018 and now will have a position with the team as they try to win another division title in 2025.
With his 11 seasons as an Orioles player, Jones should have knowledge of team operations and be able to assist management.
The Orioles have been one of the better teams in MLB the past couple of seasons but failed to perform in the postseason.
While the team does have three World Series titles in franchise history, they haven’t won it all since 1983, which was also their last World Series appearance.
The Orioles will likely be a contender again in 2025 as their roster has a ton of talent.
