CROSSOVER: With Pete Alonso, the Orioles Have Entered a New Era of Competitiveness

On Friday, the Baltimore Orioles signed first baseman Pete Alonso for $155M and welcomed him with 19 combined billboards and media walls around the city and county.
The Orioles' offseason included a trade for outfielder Taylor Ward and the $28M signing of closer Ryan Helsley, supporting their middle-of-the-pack payroll last year.
Jerseys went on sale Monday at the Oriole Park Team Store, Birdland Member representatives reported heavy calls from season-plan members and first-time buyers, and team platforms shared Alonso's first-day behind-the-scenes look.
Owner David Rubenstein said ownership discussed the deal and has resources for more moves, and the club confirmed it is adding starting pitching.
As part of a $400M multi-phase ballpark renovation, the Orioles will open a premium club next season and add a centerfield video board 2.5 times larger while attendance stood at 22,345 .
