After making the playoffs the previous two seasons, the Baltimore Orioles bottomed out in 2025, finishing last in the AL East with their 75-86 record. But as they prepare for the offseason, the Orioles are looking to get right back into contention. Baltimore is expected to be the, “most aggressive,” team in the free agent pitching market, via Bob Nightengale of USA Today. They'll have competition from some of the best teams in the league, but the Orioles are prepared to make serious improvements. “Agents and rival executives believe that the Baltimore Orioles will be the most aggressive team looking for pitching this winter, with the Mets, Cubs, Atlanta, Red Sox, Tigers and Giants also in the mix,” Nightengale wrote.
