Overview

  • Alonso introduced the phrase “New Oriole Way,” describing top-to-bottom commitment as the standard he expects to define Baltimore’s play.
  • He drew an enthusiastic reception during Birdland Caravan stops, including a Q&A with new manager Craig Albernaz and a meal-packing event with Blessings in a Backpack.
  • The first baseman reiterated that he wants to win a championship in Baltimore and is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it.
  • Teammates Gunnar Henderson, Samuel Basallo and Tyler Wells praised Alonso’s energy and leadership as they look ahead to the season.
  • His five-year, $155 million contract anchors an offseason that also added Ryan Helsley, Taylor Ward and Shane Baz and brought back Zach Eflin, with projections still placing Baltimore behind several AL East rivals as he heads to Sarasota.
