For the first time in three seasons, the Orioles did not make the playoffs, finishing fifth in the always-tough American League East. Baltimore fired manager Brandon Hyde, who was in the middle of his seventh season, after a 15-28 start and replaced him with Tony Mansolino, who went 60-59 the rest of the season. During the offseason, the Orioles hired Craig Albernaz. The former Tampa Bay player was an associate manager with Cleveland before receiving his first managerial job.
The Orioles have a 5-game Flex Plan for season tickets, starting at $147. With the plan, fans can choose three regular games and two prime games, receive preferred seating over single-game buyers and choose from promotion dates. Flex Plan tickets for the reserved grandstand start at $160 and lower box at $188.
For more information or to purchase Flex Plan tickets, email [email protected].
Giveaways include a Magnet Schedule, Hawaiian Shirt, Plush Cow. Other promotions include Senior Stroll for 60-plus fans, Heroes Day, Kids Run the Bases and a Family Weekend.
Baltimore home games at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota include the New York Yankees, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Detroit, Houston, St. Louis, Minnesota, Philadelphia and a World Baseball Classic exhibition game against the Netherlands.
The Orioles made a big splash during the offseason, signing first baseman Pete Alonso to a 5-year, $155 million free agent contract. Alonso hit 53 home runs during his Rookie of the Year season in 2009 with the New York Mets and hit 37, 40, 46, 34 and 38 home runs the past five seasons.
Baltimore also added right-handed pitcher Shane Baz from the Tampa Bay Rays for a bunch of prospects, traded for outfielder Taylor Ward and lost center fielder Cedric Mullins to the Rays through free agency.
