The Baltimore Orioles' roster has undergone quite the face-lift this offseason on both sides of the ball. While the Orioles are clearly not done, the lineup, bullpen, and rotation have all seen significant additions/upgrades heading into 2026 and, on paper, Baltimore looks like a very dangerous team. However, all of that effort may be for nothing if the Orioles' core doesn't show up and that concern starts with Jackson Holliday.
No one argues that Holliday isn't talented. You don't get picked first overall in the 2022 MLB Draft without talent and Holliday laid waste to the minors to start his career.
