The Orioles, who have the second-lowest CBT payroll in baseball, let Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery go elsewhere rather than chip away at the 2024 profits -- and they would have been paid out of the profits, believe that.

Letting Mayo and Norby rake for the greater glory of the Norfolk Tides while Dylan Cease dons Padres colors is a mistake.
