Orioles fans have taken to social media to celebrate the signing, with many hailing it as a game-changing move that signals Baltimore’s readiness to return to postseason prominence.
Bregman is expected to make his debut in the Orioles’ season opener, and the anticipation is already building as Baltimore looks to capitalize on this major addition.
