The Orioles are holding onto left-hander Dietrich Enns as part of their offseason business that’s gaining momentum after the World Series. Rather than exercise a $3 million option on Enns’ contract, the club reached an agreement on a one-year deal with another option for 2027.

The Dodgers aren’t the easiest team to replicate.  Now back-to-back World Series champions, Los Angeles is reaping the benefits of the highest payroll in the game highlighted by, arguably, the best to ever do it. Multiple MVPs fill the top of the lineup while Cy Young winners take the mound.  The Blue Jays, though, were right there.  Hardly a small

The World Series is over, which begins the official countdown to the start of free agency. The exact time is 5 p.m. on Thursday. Teams also must decide whether to make qualifying offers to their free agents, with the cost rising to $22.025 million. The Orioles won’t float it past Zach Eflin, Tomoyuki Sugano or Gary Sánchez.

One-year major league contracts were given to reliever Rico Garcia and infielder Luis Vázquez, keeping them in the organization without offering any assurances about their status for 2026. They can help to fill two of the team’s
