A top prospect could make the Orioles' outfield decision very difficult

The Baltimore Orioles have put themselves in a great position heading into the new season. They spent the winter being aggressive and filling holes by signing free agents and making a few trades. 

They acquired a handful of players, including Pete Alonso, Ryan Helsley, Shane Baz, and Taylor Ward, to name a few. The only notable subtractions coming out of Baltimore are Grayson Rodriguez, Jorge Mateo, and Albert Suarez. 

So, the club was able to make some major additions while not losing any core pieces. This is exactly what was needed for this team to potentially fight for an AL East title.

A top prospect could make the Orioles' outfield decision very difficult 

While the infield looks to be set with the new additions, the outfield group still seems to be up in the air. There are plenty of players that could force the club's hand, but maybe none more than one of their top prospects, Dylan Beavers. 

According to the crew over at MLB.com, they believe Beavers could play well this spring and make a case for him to be a starting corner outfielder. 

"Beavers had a huge 2025 season in the Minors en route to making a modest big league debut. With a good spring, Beavers should land in one of the corners in Baltimore, but there's Taylor Ward, Colton Cowser, and Tyler O'Neill all on hand for outfield playing time."

There is no denying that Baltimore has a ton of options to go with. But with what Beavers did last season and his 70-grade speed, that could be enough to seal the deal. The Orioles love being aggressive on the basepaths, and the addition of Beavers would allow them to play their game even more. 

So, be ready to get familiar with one of Baltimore's top prospects as he could be an everyday starter to begin the season.
