Baltimore Orioles aim to rebound in the AL East, fueled by the acquisitions of Pete Alonso and Taylor Ward. With a talented young core featuring Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, and Jackson Holliday, can this retooled roster power the Orioles back into playoff contention and match the Toronto Blue Jays’ turnaround from last season?

 

Connor Newcomb and Sully examine the Orioles’ offseason moves, the impact of new manager Craig Albernaz, and questions surrounding the starting rotation—including Trevor Rogers’ breakout potential and Shane Baz’s health. The episode highlights concerns about pitching depth, expectations for bounce-back years, and heated predictions on whether 85-87 wins can push Baltimore into a crowded postseason race. With the AL East primed for chaos, are the Orioles ready to make their World Series ambitions a reality?
