These aren't the same old Baltimore Orioles anymore. They've proven that on the field, making back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time in nearly 30 years.
The Arizona Diamondbacks might not have made any moves at the 2024 MLB Winter Meetings, but it hasn't exactly been a quiet off-season. Of course, as seems to be frequently the case, it's the D-backs' rivals who are benefiting from the Free Agent market.
Scott Boras is someone the Philadelphia Phillies know rather well with a few of their players being represented by him at one point. Most notable is Bryce Harper, who signed with the team in 2019.
