Gibson brought a similar aura to Baltimore’s clubhouse, becoming a character the young pitchers in the rotation and bullpen gravitated toward. But there are a number of young pitchers in the mix for the 2024 rotation.

In his first full season with the Orioles, Henderson solidified his stardom by becoming Baltimore’s first AL Rookie of the Year since 1989. He is the first Orioles hitter to win since Cal Ripken Jr. in 1982.

The question becomes: How does Baltimore build from here?

Executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias didn’t hand out anything longer than a one-year deal, but a few players signed over the winter played key roles during Baltimore’s push toward its first American League East championship since 2014.

As baseball’s offseason approaches, Elias could use the glut of prospects in Baltimore’s top-ranked farm system to supplement a team that won 101 games. Here's how he did making trades to shape this year's Orioles.

Bautista won’t return from elbow surgery until 2025, leaving a hole in Baltimore’s bullpen that might need to be remedied through the free agent or trade market this offseason.

The O's can learn from how both teams made it to baseball's grandest stage.

With a series of promotions, the Orioles have covered for the departure of Brad Ciolek, their former director of draft operations.

Darren Holmes, the assistant pitching coach, will not return to the organization in 2024.

Prospects such as Colton Cowser, Heston Kjerstad and Kyle Stowers will compete for at-bats moving forward.

The Lions came in as an early-season juggernaut. They left humbled by a defense that stood up to the task.

Both are on the ballot before the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee for Managers, Executives and Umpires.

On Wednesday, as part of an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the members of Blink-182 remarked on Brown’s sublime execution.

The winners will be announced on Nov. 5 at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.

The deal doesn’t change Baltimore’s affiliation with the Tides. The two organizations have partnered since the 2007 season and remain under contract.

There were more highs than lows, although in the moment the ending to it all could overshadow some of the bright spots throughout.

Ciolek will become Washington’s senior director of amateur scouting, a source said.

“It’s where you want to be,” catcher Adley Rutschman said. “It sucks. You make yourself watch a little bit. You gotta tell yourself you’re going to be there next year.”

Starter Dean Kremer gave up six earned runs and failed to get out of the second inning and the Orioles were swept for the first time since Adley Rutschman joined the team early last year.

Anthony Santander is a good son, but even good sons forget to call home every so often.
