Baltimore was tied for MLB’s worst team just two years ago. Now it’s leading the AL with a roster full of young talent.

Along come the revitalized Baltimore Orioles, who open a weekend series at the Coliseum on Friday night, a recent league laughing stock that is providing a glimpse at how quickly fortunes can change – even on a modest budget. If that doesn’t happen, the groundwork is still set for an extended period of contention for a franchise that lost at least 108 games in every non-shortened season from 2018-21 and hasn’t reached the playoffs since 2016.
By comparison, the A’s have had just four top-10 draft picks in the past decade and haven’t had a top-three pick since Mark Mulder was the No. 2 overall pick in 1998. Many of the A’s top picks over the past decade also have failed to pan out — Matt Chapman, Matt Olson and Sean Murphy are the only homegrown stars to emerge in recent years, and all were traded for cost-cutting reasons.
