Overview
- Ken Rosenthal reports Baltimore is actively fielding offers on Mayo and Mountcastle as Spring Training opens.
- Jackson Holliday underwent hamate surgery and is expected to miss the start of the season.
- Holliday’s absence could allow Jordan Westburg to move to second with Mayo at third and Mountcastle in a reserve first base/DH role.
- Mayo is seen as the higher-value chip thanks to his age, team control and late-2025 uptick, while Mountcastle’s market is softer after an 81 wRC+ season and a one-year deal with a 2027 club option.
- After a busy winter that included signing Pete Alonso and adding Ryan Helsley, Leody Taveras, Blaze Alexander and Andrew Kittredge, the Orioles are weighing whether to make a move before Opening Day.
