Basallo was on the bench last night vs a righty, so maybe they came close to calling him up as they worked the phones.

I'm an Orioles fan in Durham watching him this weekend, and I'm torn about whether he should be promoted (bat yes, glove ehh). Earlier, I thought he’d just replace O’Hearn at 1st after a trade, but now that he’s catching more, maybe they still see him as a catcher (but that could be out of need)?

Are you just curious, or do you think the Orioles should promote the 20 yo now despite his current catching skills, the loss of a year of salary control for a potential generational hitter, and the risk of missing out on a bonus draft pick, given their position in the standings?
