Good morning, Camden Chatters. It’s time for the World Series. And for the 43rd consecutive year, the Orioles will not be participating. They don’t want to be greedy, you know. Those World Series spots are pretty coveted, and the O’s…
The 2026 World Series begins with Game 1 between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays, marking the 43rd consecutive season that the Baltimore Orioles will miss the Fall Classic. Writing for Camden Chat, Paul Folkemer highlights that either Milwaukee or Tampa Bay will capture its first championship title in franchise history, with both teams having posted the best records in their respective leagues.
Folkemer argues that the Brewers and Rays serve as successful models of roster construction and player development despite modest payrolls. Milwaukee carries a $146.2 million payroll while Tampa Bay sits at $95.6 million, contrasting with the Orioles' $167.0 million payroll. The writer criticizes Orioles executive Mike Elias for failing to successfully replicate this sustained contending model in Baltimore.
