While it seems Grichuk won’t be joining Baltimore, the Orioles are likely to continue looking for more free agents. The club is now looking to add pitchers, per ESPN. Baltimore is pursuing multiple arms, including Grayson Rodriguez and Dean Kremer. Baltimore is in one of the most competitive divisions in baseball, with the Yankees and Boston Red Sox holding enormous payrolls.
The Orioles are also spending $8.5 million to acquire veteran catcher Gary Sanchez for one season. Sanchez hit .211 in 2024, while playing for the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran also hit 11 home runs and batted in 37 runs.
Time will tell if these moves are able to upgrade Baltimore’s offense. Orioles fans are hoping the team can march back to a postseason and win a World Series. The last time Baltimore took home the championship was in 1983. Baltimore last won the AL East during the 2023 campaign.
