BALTIMORE ORIOLES
The Orioles are fun again, which means the binder’s getting crowded with Bowman Chrome prospects like Holliday and Henderson, plus a stack of Basallo and Kjerstad rookies. Got some autos in here too, because apparently I can’t help myself. With Baltimore’s farm system cranking out talent like a Topps printing press, expect this pile to keep growing as next year’s rookies graduate and I keep ripping packs like an idiot.
After winning 91 games in 2024, the Orioles collapsed to 75-87 in 2025, plagued by injuries to 29 players and culminating in Brandon Hyde's firing in May. The front office conducted a trade deadline fire sale in 2025 before signing Pete Alonso to a five-year, $155 million deal, but the Rutschman trade to Boston in August 2026 has shaken collector confidence in the young core's cards. Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday remain, though Holliday's .242/.314/.375 line in 2025 tempered early enthusiasm for his rookie cards.
Where they stand: The Orioles sit at 54-58 as of early August 2026, struggling in their first year under new manager Craig Albernaz. Despite sitting just 2.5 games back of a Wild Card spot entering the recent trade deadline, management dealt Rutschman, Taylor Ward, Tyler Wells and Dean Kremer, signaling another rebuild year. The roster still features Pete Alonso, catcher Samuel Basallo, and young stars Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday, but the franchise's direction remains uncertain.
