Unlike previous offseasons, where it felt like the front office was passive and their plans were unknown, the Baltimore Orioles have been pretty easy to read so far. From the beginning, the Orioles have maintained that they were going to be aggressive, and that has proven true with the relatively early signing of Ryan Helsley as well as the franchise-altering addition of Pete Alonso. Some have understandably pointed out that the Orioles' starting pitching need hasn't been completely addressed yet, but trading for Shane Baz is a hell of a start, especially since he didn't even cost them Coby Mayo.
Orioles aren’t fooling anyone regarding their trade intentions for Coby Mayo
