Part 5/7:
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Orioles didn't sit idly by. They announced renovations to their infamous left-field wall, known as the 'Wall of Doom,' and made headlines by signing former St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neal to a three-year deal worth $49.5 million. This signing reflects the evolving market dynamics in MLB—a sum that highlights the inflation of starting pitching salaries.
O'Neal, a powerful asset with a notable performance in 2021, including 34 home runs, faces challenges due to past injuries but could reignite his career in Baltimore. The adjustment of left-field dimensions at Camden Yards could only enhance his offensive production.
