According to MLB Trade Rumors, veteran backstop Caleb Joseph is predicted to earn $1.7 million next year via arbitration. It’s to be determined whether the Baltimore Orioles will be willing to spend the money to keep Joseph around next year or if they want to cut bait and move on.
Admittedly, that’s a relatively cheap dollar amount to keep Joseph, who by all accounts has been a stand-up teammate during his tenure in Baltimore. He’s done nothing but well by the organization and the city of Baltimore but I’ve made my thoughts on his baseball talents known, and have been of the opinion that it’s time for the Orioles to move on from Joseph.
