Part 2/10:
Teams are sometimes quick to pivot during free agency, with transactions happening almost instantaneously. Last year, the Yankees pulled off multiple moves in rapid succession—signing Juan Soto, announcing the Max Freed deal, the Paul Goldschmidt trade, and the Devin Williams deal within a matter of days. These swift moves reflect a mindset of readiness and agility, contrasting sharply with teams like the Orioles, who appeared less aggressive.
The Orioles, under their strategy and management, seemed more measured or perhaps less inclined to spend big during that window. Nonetheless, the underlying message was clear: teams are eager to adapt rapidly or hold their ground, depending on their philosophies.
