Baltimore Orioles Face $200 Million Decision With MLB All-Star

The Baltimore Orioles face a potential major decision regarding All-Star shortstop Gunnar Henderson, who Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report projects could be nearing a $200 million contract. Following a 79-82 season that left the Orioles second-to-last in the American League East, Reuter suggests Henderson's future in Baltimore may be uncertain amid ongoing roster turnover, which previously saw Adley Rutschman traded.

During his 2026 campaign, the 25-year-old Henderson posted a .225/.309/.403 slash line with 24 home runs, 59 RBIs, and 27 doubles across 158 games. Reflecting on Baltimore missing the postseason, Henderson emphasized that failing to reach the playoffs made the campaign a failed year as the team enters a pivotal offseason.
