Albert Suárez was DFA'd five times in 2026 yet kept returning, going 3-0 as the Orioles' mop-up arm while the team went 6-22 when he pitched. His multi-inning workhorse role may stay useful in 2027, but the hope is Baltimore outgrows the need. 🔁

Orioles named Jared Banner GM under Mike Elias, and the opinion is that the clock now ticks on Craig Albernaz. After a 79-82 Year 1 and back-to-back postseason misses, a tough AL East leaves little room for another stumble in 2027. ⏳
