The Baltimore Orioles chose to add five players to the 40-man roster on Tuesday night — Grayson Rodriguez, Seth Johnson, Joey Ortiz, Noah Denoyer, and Drew Rom — thus protecting them from the Rule 5 Draft. Host Connor Newcomb breaks down why each player was added to the roster and what kind of role they could each play with the Orioles in 2023.

Then, Connor talks about some of the prospects who were not protected and also discusses how Brandon Hyde finished second in AL Manager of the Year voting.
