Even with the usual caveats that nothing is set in stone when it comes to long-term plans as baseball navigates another season in the coronavirus pandemic, Thursday’s release of the season schedules for the Orioles’ four minor league affiliates was a welcome sight for an organization that has all of its long-term competitive hopes riding on its player development apparatus.

After missing an entire minor league season in 2020 and having scarce opportunities to work in-person with their minor league prospects — either at the secondary training camp in Bowie or the fall instructional camp in Sarasota, Florida — the Orioles at least have a framework for what their young players’ schedules will look like this summer.
