Santander checks both boxes as shown by his 44 home runs in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>His contract is projected to be around $90 million, but he may consider giving the Orioles a hometown discount.<\/p>\n<p>RP: Jake Junis There&#8217;s no such thing as too much bullpen help, and Jake Junis provides incredible value with a great price for any team at just $4.3 million per year.<\/p>\n<p>He was a strikeout machine in 2024 with 6.4-1 K\/BB ratio. Junis would elevate the Orioles bullpen and strengthen the overall pitching staff in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Baltimore Orioles have to retool this offseason through free agency.
