The Bat Around-January 31st, 2026-Ryan Blake Fills in, Again

The Hot Stove has followed the weather patterns here in Maryland, as things have gotten ice cold for the Baltimore Orioles. After starting the offseason with a flurry of moves like Taylor Ward, Pete Alonso, Ryan Helsley, and Andrew Kittredge, the Orioles have left multiple boxes unchecked with less than two weeks until pitchers and catchers report to Sarasota. The needs? Another starting pitcher (preferably an ace), a power lefty in the 'pen, and perhaps a centerfielder? Are they really planning on Leodys Taveras being a role player on this team? Ryan Blake is back for one more show as he joins Paul to discuss this and more on The Bat Around!
