Orioles news: How will the O’s solve their infield logjam?

Paul Folkemer assesses how the Baltimore Orioles might address an infield roster surplus ahead of the 2027 season. With Jordan Westburg expected to return after missing the 2026 campaign, Baltimore faces a crowded situation at second base and third base alongside Coby Mayo, Blaze Alexander, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, and Jackson Holliday.

While potential solutions include trading an infielder or demoting Holliday to the minors, Folkemer argues that the Orioles should keep all five players for depth. He points to past injury troubles as evidence that positional surpluses typically resolve themselves over the course of a season.
