Orioles express interest in first baseman/outfielder Gavin bed sheets According to Masn’s Roch Kubatko in a recent Mailbag column, sometime this winter. The sheets are still free agents, but it is not clear whether the Orioles remain interested in his service during the offseason.
The April 29th sheet was a second round pick for White Sox in 2017, and Chicago was unpopular in November after four seasons with Sox. The worst season of the sheets career so far was in 2023, when he hit a trivial .203/.267/.301 in a WRC+ 61 on the plate 344 times. Outside that disastrous season, however, he usually looks average to slightly below average hitters at major league levels. It is worth noting that production is split on a large scale. Over his career, the Sheets have performed 98 WRC+ on right-hand pitching, but 74% worse than the league’s average against Southpaws. The same principle applies to his 2024 season, when he released 94 WRC+ against the opposite pitch, but the lefty limited him to WRC+ with just 59.
For clubs that require first base left-handed bats, adding sheets may make sense. That being said, however, given Baltimore’s interest in bed sheets is at least somewhat surprising Ryan O’Hearn Filling a very similar niche, currently locked behind the club’s part-time season in his second straight strong season. Like sheets, O’Hearn is primarily a first baseman, but can also pinch in the outfield. While sheets have more time in the outfield than O’Hearn has reached their career, this extra time can only highlight the higher defense of the position as he has a higher advantage over the MLB value-14 during the MLB A suitable average. Profession.
The Orioles have increased since the start of the offseason Ramon Laureano,,,,, Dylan Carlsonand Taylor O’Neill O’Hearn in their already crowded outfield mix Ryan Mountcastleand Coby Mayo All of this stays on playing time in first base. That group of people seems to have little room for talent, such as players like bedsheets to fit in, and despite injuries or trade, it is possible that the Orioles will be interested in the depth of his trade as a non-member clearing some of them 40 people depth. In addition to the Orioles, there are a handful of clubs that can use players like bed sheets as potential platoons for first base or outfield. The Reds, Angels, Rockies and Marlins were the clubs that had the biggest fight against right-hand pitching last year, and they could have room for sheets on the bench.
