The Baltimore Orioles have signed outfielder Leody Taveras to a one-year major league deal, marking their first big move of the offseason. Taveras, a switch-hitter with six major league seasons under his belt, primarily played with the Texas Rangers and had a brief stint with the Seattle Mariners. He showed promise in Triple-A Tacoma this past season, hitting .280 with an OPS of .804. Taveras best season was in 2023 with the Rangers, where he hit .266 with 14 home runs and 67 RBIs. The Orioles are likely looking at Taveras for his strong arm and valuable depth, especially in center field. This signing indicates the Orioles aggressive approach to the offseason as they aim to return to postseason contention.
