O'Neill to the Orioles: Steal of the offseason or ticking time bomb?
The Orioles snagged Tyler O’Neill on a 3-year, $49.5MM deal. Is this a savvy move to bolster their lineup or a gamble on an injury-prone player? O’Neill’s power is undeniable, but his health and platoon splits raise some serious questions. How much will the Orioles actually get out of him? Is this contract a bargain, or will they regret it when he’s on the IL? Weigh in, folks.
Baltimore’s lineup is heavily left-handed. Does O’Neill solve their platoon problems, or is this just a band-aid solution? With Santander gone, can O’Neill truly fill the power void? What other moves do the Orioles need to make to contend in the AL East? Their payroll is increasing, but is it enough to compete with the big spenders? Let the debate begin.
O’Neill’s contract includes an opt-out after 2025. Is he betting on himself to have a monster year and cash in next offseason? If he stays healthy, could he be one of the top free agents in 2026? What kind of contract could he command then? Is this opt-out a smart move for both O’Neill and the Orioles? Share your predictions.
This signing likely signals the end of major offensive additions for Baltimore. Do you agree? What other areas do they need to address? Starting pitching is an obvious need. Who are some realistic targets for the Orioles? Can they afford to pursue a top-tier arm while staying under their budget? Let’s hear your thoughts.
