All MLB →- MLBOrioles Shake Up Analytics, Nats Lock Up CavalliFront Office Shakeup in Baltimore The Skinny: Sig Mejdal’s out as head of the Orioles’ analytics department—but he’s not gone. Sources say he’s shifting to a new role overseeing research on emerging tech and innovative practices across the org. Keeps his AGM title, but this is a seismic shift for a front office that’s leaned hard on data. Mejdal’s the guy who helped build the Astros’ and Cardinals’ analytics powerhouses, so don’t sleep on this being a play for the next edge. Orioles’ brass must think the current system’s maxed out—or they’re betting big on the next wave of tools. The Bet: If Mejdal’s new gig is about applying tech (think AI-driven scouting, biomechanics, or real-time decision engines), this could be a masterstroke. If it’s just a reshuffle to keep him busy? Orioles fans should be nervous. Nationals Bet Big on Cavalli The Skinny: Cade Cavalli’s locked in for four more years in D.C., with a club option for 2031. The deal’s worth $47M guaranteed, $70M if the Nats pick up
