Baltimore Orioles' Offseason Outlook for 2027

The Baltimore Orioles are preparing for the 2027 season after falling short of expectations in 2026. Despite selling players at the trade deadline, the team is not initiating a rebuild and aims to return to contention.

For 2027, the Orioles have financial commitments totaling $86.375 million, with future obligations reaching $380.125 million. The team is evaluating arbitration-eligible players and potential non-tender candidates as they strategize for the upcoming season.

Historically, the Orioles underwent a significant rebuilding phase from 2018 to 2021, losing over 108 games in each season to accumulate young talent. However, recent seasons have seen a decline, with the team finishing below .500 in both 2025 and 2026. Key players have been traded, and injuries have impacted performance, leaving the roster in a precarious position as they look to improve in 2027.
