In here: For David Rubenstein, it’s still important that the Orioles turn a profit every year to protect that sustainability.

Free-agent outfielder Ramón Laureano in agreement with Orioles on one-year, $4M contract, source tells @TheAthletic.


We have agreed to terms with OF Dylan Carlson on a one-year contract for the 2025 season. Welcome to Birdland, Dylan!

David Rubenstein talked about about the current state of the MLB payroll (via: @YahooFinance) — "I wish it would be the case that we would have a salary cap in baseball like other sports do, and maybe eventually we will, but we don’t have that now. What we have is a luxury tax in effect, so if you go over in a higher payroll, you will have to pay a penalty effect to other teams. It’s not a perfect system; it’s better than nothing. But at some point I expect we will have something closer to what the NFL and NBA have, but it’s no guarantee of that”

Welcome to Baltimore, Jacob!
