Silver Slugger reality hits Orioles hard and exposes major offseason flaw

The American League Silver Slugger finalists were revealed, and there's no point in burying the lede; there were no players on the Baltimore Orioles roster who were recognized. The Orioles were arguably baseball's biggest disappointment in 2025, and considering the paint-drying lull that was their offense, the O's can't even make a case that any of their players were snubbed.

At the start of the season, Gunnar Henderson would have been the obvious name to circle as a Silver Slugger candidate. Henderson had 37 home runs in 2024 with the Orioles while posting a wRC+ of 154. And yet, Henderson is the perfect example of what went wrong with the Orioles in 2025, considering there was regression throughout their entire roster.
