Hey, have you heard? The Baltimore Orioles will be playing in the postseason for the first time since 2016, kicking off the Division Series this Saturday against the winner of the Rangers/Rays Wild Card Series. I know! It’s awesome.
The O’s have a few more days before they need to set their ALDS roster, but it’s not too early to speculate about what that 26-man crew will look like.
The locks (22):
Starting pitchers: Kyle Bradish, John Means, Grayson Rodriguez
Relief pitchers: Yennier Cano, Danny Coulombe, DL Hall, Cionel Pérez, Jacob Webb, Tyler Wells
Catchers: Adley Rutschman, James McCann
Infielders: Adam Frazier, Gunnar Henderson, Jorge Mateo, Ryan Mountcastle, Ryan O’Hearn, Ramón Urías, Jordan Westburg
Outfielders: Austin Hays, Aaron Hicks, Cedric Mullins, Anthony Santander
Well, the position player group is pretty straightforward.
