These guys have been okay, but they aren't necessary to retain moving forward.
The Baltimore Orioles won't have a ton of tough decisions to make regarding their own free agents this offseason. Most of the moves will be cut and dry, such as declining Jorge Mateo's option, though others, such as reuniting with Zach Eflin after a disappointing and injury-plagued season, will require much more careful consideration.
Baltimore is looking to rebound in 2026 and return to contention by leaning into their young core and taking the hard lessons from 2025 to heart as the club looks to do a much better job adding productive complementary pieces to support its foundation.
