Baltimore

Orioles

Enns was jettisoned from Baltimore’s 40-man roster back in late May and spent the rest of the season in the minors. The well-traveled 35-year-old southpaw has spent time in the majors with four different clubs in addition to pitching overseas.

Rogers managed to turn things around, posting a pristine 2.90 ERA and a 119/21 K/BB over 121 innings across his final 20 starts following an abysmal start to last season. The 28-year-old southpaw’s wild fluctuations make him one of the more challenging fantasy starters to forecast, but there’s zero doubt that there will be clubs lining up to sign him this offseason. His fantasy value will likely be significantly tied to where he ultimately winds up.

Abner was cut loose from New York’s 40-man roster earlier this week. The 24-year-old lefty posted an inflated 7.11 ERA across 19 innings between the Giants and Diamondbacks this past season.

White heads to Baltimore as organizational relief depth after allowing five runs and recording only two outs during his lone appearance for Miami this past season.

Hampton is a worthwhile zero-risk pickup for the Orioles since he was one of the top pitching prospects for the division-rival Yankees just a few years ago before injuries derailed his career. The 25-year-old spent time with the Nationals and Cardinals at the end of last year following New York’s decision to finally move on. He’s a literally lottery ticket at this point of his development.

Taveras has already elected free agency and the rest figure to follow suit. The biggest name here by a country mile is Kjerstad, but it was actually Taveras that wound up having the biggest impact for the Orioles last year, racking up 482 plate appearances, hitting .219/.288/.345 with eight homers and 11 steals.

Morgan heads to Baltimore after getting a couple stints with the Giants this past season during which he failed to appear in a game. The 26-year-old figures to make his long-awaited big-league debut at some point in the near future as a backup catcher.

Not what either the Orioles or Kjerstad envisioned when the team drafted him with the 2nd overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft. The 27-year-old was once a top 100 prospect, but his career has not been a steady progression. He missed the 2021 season with myocarditis and didn’t make his major league debut until 2023. He’s never had more than 167 MLB plate appearances in any season, but did hit .289/.337/.462 with 11 home runs and a 106 wRC+ in 333 plate appearances for Triple-A Norfolk this season. He will likely have a few suitors in free agency to see if they can reclaim some of his former prospect sheen.

Mountcastle was set to come off the 60-day injured list today but will now become a free agent instead. There are reports that the Orioles are still interested in bringing back the 29-year-old, but Pete Alonso’s presence in Baltimore makes Mountcastle less of an impact player. Mountcastle has not played over 125 games since 2022, so injuries have sapped a little bit of the upside he showed back in his early seasons in Baltimore.

Robert will get a $2 million buyout of the $20 million option. Even though he was limited to 61 games last season and hasn’t been all that productive since 2023, he’ll draw plenty of interest from teams as a potential one-year upside play this winter. He hit .221/.300/.407 in 230 plate appearances for the Mets and Orioles in 2026.
