One sign of an organization that is overflowing with talent is when it gets to a point where there are more interesting prospects than the team can fit onto its 40-man roster. Teams in that position have to start thinking of when to deal players before they are lost for next to nothing in the Rule 5 draft. With a large group of players becoming eligible for the draft after this season, the Orioles are getting close to being one of those teams.
At the moment, the Orioles have 38 players on their 40-man roster. It’s not even full.
