A year ago the Baltimore Orioles looked like a dynasty in the making. Since then, they’ve been thoroughly mediocre. Even an improved stretch recently hasn’t helped their outlook much for 2025. After losing two of three to the Yankees in New York, the Orioles are 11 games under .500. They’ve gone 17-10 over their last 27, so perhaps the worst is over. But over the last 162 regular-season games, Baltimore is 75-87. It’s a remarkable decline for a team that won 101 games in 2023, started 49-25 last year and had a core of standouts that was young and cost controlled.
