Means wasn’t able to pitch in that postseason due to arm trouble and that when he was barely back from Tommy John surgery. Although I don’t particularly want them to do this, it’s not the craziest thing if they take a rotation of Kyle Bradish, Grayson Rodriguez, John Means, Dean Kremer, and Tyler Wells into spring training. It is not a situation that needs to have urgency for the Orioles. The team will probably need starting pitching at least as good as what they got this year in order to have consecutive playoff appearances, and certainly better starting pitching than they got in the postseason this year to advance into the ALCS or beyond. The situation has not changed since Dean Kremer was blasted out of ALDS Game 3 and everyone’s attention could shift into next year mode as soon as they were ready to start thinking about that. As far as next year’s roster, attention can more specifically go towards whether it should or will be altered based on either a free agent signing or trade. Unless you’re like me and you want to think about what’s on the renovation wish list and whether these projects carried out by John Angelos will spoil what’s great to us about Oriole Park at Camden Yards. With the official resolution of the Orioles lease for next year and beyond earlier this week, fans can return their full attention to the shape of the 2024 roster.

We’ve gotten down into double digits! We are not yet down to “there’s a uniform number every day” territory yet, because while the O’s got a #99 for the first time ever when Jesús Aguilar joined the team in 2022, no one has yet worn any of numbers 89-98 in a game for the team. There are now 98 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2024.
