There's no award for winning the MLB offseason, but if there was, the Baltimore Orioles would be the undisputed champion. While other teams have made some savvy moves and blockbuster trades this winter, they all pale in comparison to what Mike Elias and the Orioles have done since the offseason began.
The O's front office jumpstarted their offseason by swinging a trade with the Los Angeles Angels for power-hitting outfielder Taylor Ward. Baltimore then improved the backend of their bullpen by signing closer Ryan Helsley to a two-year, $28 million deal. The Orioles also secured a mid-rotation starter after trading for Tampa Bay Rays starter Shane Baz.
