Orioles Snag Banner as New GM

The Deal: The Orioles just hired Jared Banner as their new general manager, pulling him from the Cubs' front office where he served as assistant GM. Word is, Banner’s got a sharp eye for talent—especially after pushing the Cubs to grab Pete Crow-Armstrong, a guy he knew from his time with the Mets.

Why It Matters: Banner’s track record suggests he’s not afraid to make bold moves. If he’s willing to vouch for a prospect like PCA, you can bet he’s got a plan to shake things up in Baltimore. The O’s are sitting on a young, loaded roster—now they’ve got a GM who knows how to pull the trigger.

The Numbers: No stats here, but Banner’s resume speaks for itself. Two front-office stops (Mets, Cubs) and a reputation for spotting talent early. If he can replicate that success in Baltimore, the AL East just got a lot more interesting.
