Orioles first official offseason move quietly reinforces a key need for 2026

The Baltimore Orioles took care of the first item on their offseason wishlist earlier this week after agreeing to terms with new manager Craig Albernaz. Now, the team's attention will turn to improving the roster. The Orioles made a small, but necessary, move on Thursday after agreeing to a Major League deal with right-handed reliever Rico Garcia.

Garcia was a late addition to the Orioles' roster in 2025. He began the season with the New York Mets, then went to the New York Yankees. After just one Major League appearance for the Bronx Bombers last season, Garcia landed back with the Mets.
