For a minute there, it almost seemed like some of the excitement that’s been exclusively in the Orioles minor leagues for a while was getting some MLB work in. The Orioles spent the first week and a half of May doing an impersonation of a good team. It seemed like Adley Rutschman was coming imminently. The Orioles got swept by the worst-in-the-AL Tigers, their next ten games are against the Yankees and Rays, and Rutschman still isn’t here. Back to the minor leagues we will have to go for excitement.
Each week throughout the minor league season, Tuesdays on Camden Chat will feature a roundup of the past week of action on the Orioles farm, with a particular focus on Camden Chat’s composite top O’s prospects.
