It's worth debating whether the Orioles have surpassed the Blue Jays for the coming competitive cycle.
The Blue Jays current MLB performance is clearly better, but not by a huge margin. Moving forward, the young position player cores are comparable with huge controllable talents on both teams. Baltimore's starting rotation is awful, but our starting pitchers make more than their entire team combined.
The farm systems are not comparable. Long term payroll commitments are not comparable.
Which organization would you take for the next five years?
