Even before Friday's trade for Shane Baz, there was plenty to like about the Baltimore Orioles' offseason. Their early moves addressed the need for a different look in the outfield, acquiring Taylor Ward from the Los Angeles Angels, and they also stabilized the backend of their bullpen by signing Ryan Helsley. Then, at the Winter Meetings, they stole the show by signing Pete Alonso to the long-term deal the Mets were so afraid of.
For those reasons alone, it's why Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller dubbed the Orioles the biggest winners of the offseason.
