It seemed as if the Orioles were getting a leap on the market, signing outfielder Tyler O’Neill and catcher Gary Sánchez before the start of the winter meetings.

They filled two needs, but the rest of the division has also been stocking up. The Yankees lost Juan Soto but signed pitcher Max Fried and traded for closer Devin Williams. The Red Sox acquired pitcher Garrett Crochet.

So have the Orioles done enough to compete? Here’s where their roster stands.

Catchers: Adley Rutschman, Gary Sánchez

With the addition of Sánchez, this position is locked up. Rutschman will be the starter, with Sánchez backing him up. General manager Mike Elias said at the winter meetings that Rutschman and Sánchez’s split will look similar to Rutschman and James McCann’s over the past two seasons. However, that would mean a significant load increase for Sánchez. McCann caught 66 games last year, compared to 28 for Sánchez.

Infielders: Ryan Mountcastle, Ryan O’Hearn, Gunnar Henderson, Jackson Holliday, Jordan Westburg, Jorge Mateo, Ramón Urías, Coby Mayo

The main question with this group is whether Holliday will be the starting second baseman, a spot that was handed to him in the second half of the season only because of injuries to Mateo and Urías.

“I’m not writing it in,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “I’m definitely keeping the options open.”

Hyde added that he likes the swing adjustments Holliday made last season — he hit .218 with five home runs in his second stint in the majors in the second half — and he thinks the now 21-year-old made progress at second base. If Holliday isn’t the starter, Mateo or Urías will get the nod there.

At first base, Mountcastle, a two-time Gold Glove finalist, should get most starts, with O’Hearn, who had his $8 million option picked up, also seeing time there and as a designated hitter.

Henderson, who followed up his 2023 American League Rookie of the Year title with a fourth-place finish in MVP voting, will start at shortstop, with Westburg, an All-Star last season, likely at third.

Outfielders: Cedric Mullins, Colton Cowser, Heston Kjerstad, Tyler O’Neill

With the addition of O’Neill, the outfield seems set. Replacing Anthony Santander’s production will be tough, but O’Neill hit 31 home runs last season and adds a right-handed bat to the mix. He can play center field, but the Orioles plan to stay away from him there. Mullins will play center, with Cowser in left and O’Neill and Kjerstad platooning in right.

The Orioles hope Kjerstad will take a step forward after a concussion limited his time last season, and Elias said they’ll give Kjerstad the playing time to do so.

Starting pitchers: Zach Eflin, Grayson Rodriguez, Dean Kremer, Albert Suárez, Cade Povich, Chayce McDermott, Brandon Young, Trevor Rogers

The Orioles have enough arms to form a rotation. Is it strong enough to make up for potentially not having Corbin Burnes? Burnes hasn’t ruled out a return to the Orioles, his agent said, but it will take shelling out some serious cash, something the Orioles have not been willing to do in the past. Elias said he wants to get another pitcher and it doesn’t necessarily have to be an ace, which might have to be the case considering the dwindling number of options left.

The way it stands now, Eflin, who pitched to a 2.60 ERA in nine starts after the trade deadline, will lead the rotation, with Rodriguez as the No. 2. The Orioles think Rodriguez can be a top guy, and, if they don’t acquire one this offseason, this would be his chance to prove they are right.

They know what they have in Kremer — a budding veteran with a career ERA of 4.28 — and Suárez, who pitched to a 3.70 ERA in his first major league experience in nearly eight years.

As for the rest, their value is unknown. Povich, McDermott and Young are prospects with promise. Povich has the most experience of the three, making 16 starts with mixed results, the highlight being 7 1/3 shutout innings against the White Sox.

Rogers, acquired at the deadline, ran out of steam, Elias said. He has a long way to go if he wants to return to his 2021 form, when he was an All-Star and finished second in Rookie of the Year voting for the Marlins.

Relievers: Félix Bautista, Seranthony Domínguez, Cionel Pérez, Yennier Cano, Keegan Akin, Bryan Baker, Colin Selby, Gregory Soto, Kade Strowd

Bautista should be back, but the Orioles aren’t ready to name him their closer just yet. That leaves Domínguez, who had 11 saves last season, and Cano, who had five, as their other late-inning options.

The bullpen needs more help — especially with Danny Coulombe and Jacob Webb not returning — but, given Elias’ track record, it’ll probably come from a waiver pickup or cash considerations trade instead of a blockbuster move.
