Sitting far from first place and clinging to a wild card spot, their roster hasn’t delivered the wins they paid for. Alonso’s been average, Ward’s underwhelming, and the pitching staff’s been a mess — with Chris Bassitt injured, Zach Eflin unused, and Ryan Helsley struggling. Even Baz hasn’t lived up to the hype. With all that cash spent, the Orioles are now facing serious questions as the season drags on. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
