Kyle Schwarber is back with the Philadelphia Phillies, agreeing to a five-year deal worth $150 million, a move that may just open up the floodgates at the Winter Meetings. While not as prevalent as the Pittsburgh Pirates (yes, those Pirates) and the Cincinnati Reds, the Baltimore Orioles were involved in Schwarber's sweepstakes and have already pivoted to another All-Star bat.
The Baltimore Banner's Andy Kostka did confirm that the Orioles were in on Schwarber, but in the immediate aftermath, they have pivoted their efforts toward free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso.
