Last year was supposed to be a test-the-waters-with-the-youth season for the Baltimore Orioles.
Instead, the Birds won 101 games and the AL East, securing their first playoff berth since 2016. The season ended with an ALDS sweep at the hands of the eventual World Series champion Texas Rangers, but it became official. The next generation of great Baltimore Orioles baseball had arrived.
The 2024 season is looking all the more exciting for Baltimore too, and they’re bringing former Brewers ace Corbin Burnes for this round. Infielder Gunnar Henderson and switch-hitting catcher Adley Rutschman are both back, and so is future ace Greyson Rodriguez.
