Orioles News & Notes: Enoli Paredes, Jason Bourgeois, Liván Soto

The Orioles have a new first base coach and another potential member of their 2026 bullpen. We’ll get to the scouting reports on both guys coming up on this episode of the Locked On Orioles podcast. You are Locked on Orioles, your daily Baltimore Orioles podcast, part of the Locked On podcast network. Your team every day. Hey there Orioles fans. Today is Wednesday, November 12th, 2025 and welcome back in to the Locked on Orioles podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. As always, I’m your host Connor Nukem. And coming up on today’s episode, we’re going to talk about a couple additions to the Orioles organization earlier this week. Anoli Paredus, a right-handed pitcher, was signed to a minor league deal. He’s got a good chunk of big league experience over the past few years and could be a legitimate guy to compete for a bullpen spot in spring training. And then we’ll chat about the Orioles new first base coach as we’ll learn a little bit more about Jason Bgeoa. But that is all coming up on this episode of the Locked Orioles podcast, which is brought to you by FanDuel.

And of course, want to thank you for tuning in to Locked On Orioles. We are part of the Locked On Network, now the number one sports podcast network. So, we’ll start with a couple of additions to the Orioles organization this week. And we will begin on the player side. Another intriguing reliever has been added to the organization. Anoli Pedes has been signed by the Orioles to a minor league deal on Monday. Was first reported by Ari Alexander of ABC7 in Boston and then later confirmed by the Orioles. It is a minor league deal with an invite to big league spring training for Paradis. Now, who is Anolie Paradis? Well, he is a 30-year-old right-handed reliever who did not pitch in the big leagues in 2025, but did pitch in the five seasons in MLB before that. Now, it hasn’t been a ton of time. He’s wrapped up 54 career big league innings since he debuted in 2020. Now, Paradus was initially an international signing as a teenager, and it was the Astros who signed him out of the Dominican Republic back in 2014. And of course back in 2014 that’s when Mike Elias and Sigell and Eve Rose and crew were all working for Houston. So a obvious connection there with Elias being involved with Parade coming into the Astros system. Seeing him there for basically five seasons before leaving. This Orio staff knows a good amount about Paradis and he, you know, kind of slowly made his way through the system as a starter, then converted to a reliever. And in 2019, he split the minor league season between high A and double A and was awesome that season. Huge strikeout numbers. He was rule five eligible for the first time that off season. And the Astros decided to add him to the 40man roster to protect him from the rule five draft. And because of that, it made sense for them to have him debut in 2020. And because of the pandemic, the expanded rosters, and the 2020 season, Pedis did make his big league debut with the Astros in 2020. Now, he didn’t have very good strikeout to walk numbers, but he did post a 3.05 erra in 20 and two/3 innings in that first season. And as the season went on, you remember, you know, if you can remember back to 2020, if you even want to remember anything from that season, the Astros were coming off, you know, losing the 2019 World Series to the Nats and then everybody found out about the trash can banging scheme. But it was kind of the same group of Astros talent, but they really had a bad season. They barely came on strong enough at the end to just squeak into the expanded playoffs that year. But the Astros, despite their bad record, made it all the way to game seven of the ALCS before bowing out against the Rays that year cuz, you know, they kind of had more playoff experience than everybody else. But by the end of the year and in the postseason, the Astros, you know, they weren’t using Paris as their top reliever. But but he was a leverage guy. He pitched seven times in that 2020 postseason. did give up four earned runs. Now, he got some big outs early in the ALCS, but in game three against the Rays, he gave up some pivotal runs in a big spot in the fifth inning that allowed the Rays to take game three and go up three nothing. The Astros would then win the next three, force a game seven, and lose to Tampa Bay. But Pereis looked like a guy who would be a future bullpen piece for the Astros. But he came back in 2021 hoping to be on the opening day roster and a big part of the bullpen. and instead it just kind of didn’t really happen for him. Over the next two seasons, 2021 and 22, he pitched in only 15 total games out of the Astros bullpen. In those two seasons, it just kind of fell out of favor, right? His his walks became a much bigger issue. And then in 2023, he never made it back to the big leagues. He was stuck in AAA all year. He had a 19% walk rate and a 48 RA in 54 innings in AAA. That’s why Houston kept him down there. So after that 2023 season, the Astros kind of gave up on him. They removed him from the 40man roster and he signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers that offseason. If any team can get the most out of a relief pitcher, it’s probably the Brewers, the way they build their bullpens. And he was dominant in Triple A to begin the 2024 season. And with some injuries, the Brewers called Paradus up in late May to join the big league bullpen. And he was pretty good. Now, unfortunately, he suffered a forearm injury in July and missed two months with forearm tendinitis, but did return in September, but overall was good for Milwaukee in his last big league stint, 20 and two/3 innings for the Brewers, posted a 1.74 erra in that season. And while the walks were still kind of high at 11%, the strikeouts not super high at 18%, it the opponents hit just 173 against him in that limited big league time that year and still looked like a legit legitimate reliever, but the Brewers needed roster space and so after Pus came back from the forearm injury. Couple weeks later, they DFAD him in late September. The Cubs claimed him off waiverss. He appeared in one game for the Cubs out of the bullpen in the final week of the season in 2024 and then the Cubs outrighted him off the roster after that year. So, he was still kind of looking for another chance and he did get it with the Braves. The Atlanta Braves this time last off season signed Paradis to another minor league deal, but he never got to the big leagues with Atlanta. He pitched 57 and a3 innings in AAA Gwynette this year. Posted a 440 erra with a 28% strikeout rate. Pretty good, but a 12% walk rate, which is still fairly high. Did flash some really good swing and miss numbers, but overall, even though he got the walks actually down this year, still a concerning number for a guy, you know, approaching 30 years old. Now, it is a four pitch mix for Paradis. It’s a four seam fast at 94 miles an hour. He got a 32% swing and miss on that pitch. It’s pretty good. And then his bread and butter is the slider. It’s a hard slider at 87, almost a 40% whiff rate on that pitch. And he does throw four pitches. Like he will also mix in a sinker and a change up from time to time. But the four seamer and the slider make up 82% of the pitches that he threw in AAA this year. So he really has two go-to pitches. And and all four of those pitches gradeed out well via the the raw stuff numbers. And the four seam fast is interesting. It kind of looks like Kyle Bradish’s old for four seamer and that it has a lot of natural cut to it. It’s not necessarily a cutter, but doesn’t have that riding action. Has more of the cutting action to it, which does give him a little deception, but also hurts him when he leaves the ball in the middle of the plate. And again, the the command is still something that he’s trying to work through. It’s gotten a little bit better, but not to the level where he can settle in as a guaranteed big league reliever. And the reason why he hasn’t is because of the command. Like if you look at just the raw numbers in the big leagues, I mean he’s got a three erra in 54 innings and 55 big league appearances. Like that’s a guy who should be getting more chances, but teams see the strikeout numbers have dropped when he gets to the big leagues. The walks have still been a problem and kind of aren’t willing to guarantee him that spot. Now he’s another depth signing for the Orioles, right? He’s on a minor league deal, so he doesn’t count against the 40man roster. He will be in big league spring training, but you know, if he doesn’t make the team, the Orioles can just put him right there in TripleA Norfol and use him as depth, but he does have a good amount of big league experience. He has, you know, especially early in his time with the Astros in 2020, he was used as a high leverage reliever in the postseason. You’re not going to find a lot of relievers on minor league deals who have high leverage playoff experience, even if it was five plus years ago. Parade still has it, which maybe gives him a little leg up over some of these other guys the O’s are going to bring in for depth and to try and, you know, compete for spots in a bullpen that is fairly wide open right now. Like if you really wanted to make an argument, you could say that Andrew Kitridge, who the Orioles retrained for last week, is the only guy guaranteed a spot in the 2026 bullpen right now. I would argue that there’s a pretty good chance that Year Canó and Keegan Akin and Dietrich Ends all have a spot in this bullpen, but if you wanted to argue back and say none of them are are are firm in there, I I wouldn’t think you’re crazy at all. So, there is a lot of innings to go around in this bullpen at the moment and so you bring in guys with big league experience who have good stuff and you have experience with obviously with his time with the Astros. No such thing as bad depth. Even if he spends most of the year in AAA Norfol if he pitches well, maybe he could always come up later in the season. He is out of minor league options. So once the Orioles would call him up to the big leagues, he would no longer have that roster flexibility. But always nice to have depth of a guy who’s pitched a good amount in the big leagues and had some success in that stretch as well. But speaking of some experience, the Orioles are continuing to put together the coaching staff for Craig Albernaz. And we got reports of another hire on Monday. Jason Bourgeoa is the Orioles new first base coach. We’ll tell you about him coming up next. But first, this episode of the Lockdown Orioles podcast is brought to you by Game Time.

So, as the off season has officially gotten underway, right, we are waiting for the Orioles to make some moves. The the GM meetings are happening right now, the GMs are kind of talking to each other for the first time. Stuff doesn’t really happen for another month or so, usually until the winter meetings, but you hold out for some maybe lower level signings here or there. You know, we’ve seen the Orioles go get Andrew Kitridge and Leodyis and some minor league deals and some waiver claims that we’ve talked about, but the O’s still have to fill out the entirety of their coaching staff under new manager Craig Alberaz. We know that they, you know, got rid of the entire hitting coaching staff. They brought in Dustin Lind as the main hitting coach. They’re probably also going to hire at least one assistant hitting coach that needs to be named. It seems like the pitching group of Mitch Plasm, Ryan Clem, and Drew French is going to stay in place, which I think is a good move by the Orioles. Still kind of TBD on Buck Britain. We know Robinson Trinos is most likely gone. So, the Orioles will need a new bench coach. But they also had Anthony Sanders, their first base coach, leave to take the same job with the Detroit Tigers, which meant the first base coach job, which also works with base running and with the outfield defense, was open until now. As Andy Kuska of the Baltimore Banner reported on Monday that the Orioles have hired Jason Bourgeois as the new first base coach. Now, if you’re a fan of 2000’s baseball and maybe early 2010s, Jason Bugeois is some absolute remembering some guys hire by the Orioles. And you know, I had talked about someone like Antoine Richardson maybe being a good first base coach hire for the Orioles. He was hired by the Braves instead, even though he had that connection to Albertaz. But Bourgeoa has been in the big leagues for the past couple of years, has been the first base coach for the Chicago White Socks for the past two seasons there. And then seemingly here, he handled not just first base coaching duties, but also outfield defense and base running. Now, if you look at the raw numbers for what Bisuah was overseeing, the White Socks were at -6 runs via Statcast base running runs. Basically looking at your total team base running, is it costing your team runs or adding runs? The White Socks base running was costing the team six runs. That was 29th in baseball. But a lot of that stem from being 29th at taking extra bases. They were not very aggressive. They were not very good at that last year. The Orioles were pretty average at that. It’s not something that was a much of a problem. The Orioles, however, were 25th in stolen base runs. They were actually hurting themselves last year when they were attempting stolen bases. Meanwhile, the White Socks were 10th in that category and also improved from 2024, Bwis’s first year. So maybe that’s somewhere where he can help. The White Socks were sixth in statcast runs on stealing second base specifically, but they were 29th in just raw stolen base attempts. So, what it really feels like is Bajis got these guys pretty good at being better base runners, better base Steelers, but more of the either, you know, from the manager, from Will Venible or the organizational philosophy was like, we don’t really want to run that much. So, they were 29th in stolen base attempts, but when they did run, they were pretty good, especially when they were stealing second base. And that is something the Orioles just frankly need to be better at in 2026. In terms of the outfield defense part of it, the White Socks were pretty bad out there last year. Brooks Baldwin and Andrew Benendy, who played a lot of outfield, were two of the worst outfielders defensively in baseball by fielding run value at Statcast. But you take that with a little bit of a grain of salt, right? The players on the White Socks are generally bad. Brooks Baldwin was an infielder trying to learn the outfield. Ben Tendi is getting older at this point. It’s not a very good organization as we know. So you can’t hold all of that, the talent and the org he was giving over the head of Jason Bwis. Now before joining the White Socks, he kind of worked for the polar opposite organization. And if you want to say, “Oh, the Orioles are hiring someone from the White Sox. How can he be a good coach?” Well, maybe take a look at his job before that because for the previous five years, he worked for the Dodgers and the Dodgers generally are hiring and paying the best people to be their coaches. Bwis was hired as a coach in Aball with the Great Lake in the Dodgers system in 2019. He would have coached in high A in 2020 if the season had not been cancelled. But in 2021, the Dodgers promoted him to their minor league outfield and base running coordinator. And he stayed in that role for the next three seasons, helping Dodgers, minor leaguers with outfield defense with base running, getting them ready for the big leagues. And that’s when the White Socks came calling and hired him as their first base coach in 2024. Now, the only real notable thing that happened with Jason Bajois when he was with the White Sox, besides seeing a whole lot of losing, especially in 2024 with that team is in one of his first games, it was early April of 2024, his first season with the White Socks. And the White Sox were playing a game, and then there was about an hourong rain delay in the middle of the game. And when the White Socks came back out to hit after the rain delay was over, Baja, who was their first base coach, was not out there. there. So, the White Sox, I believe, sent like a starting pitcher who wasn’t pitching that day out to coach first base for a half inning and then Bwis returned. Now, of course, then manager Pedro Graffle, who was later fired that season, was asked about it. And Graffle was basically said that Bushwah was so locked in on the iPad with the headphones in in the uh clubhouse during the rain delay, looking at some of the outfield positioning and defense, the White Sox had shown off earlier in that game, was trying to fix some things because they had made an error, I think, in the outfield or something like that, that he was just so locked in that he didn’t make it back out there. Now, it was always a weird explanation because it’s like, yeah, that could be totally the truth. But there was no one in that clubhouse who tapped Bwais on the shoulder and said, “Hey, like I know you’re doing something important, but you’re the first base coach. We’re about to hit and the game’s about to start again. You need to be out there.” Just a weird scenario that makes you think maybe he wasn’t back there on the iPad. But also, Graffle was very defensive of him after the game. It was very weird. That was also one of his first games as a major league coach. He’s been out there a lot of times and not missed any innings since then. So that could just be a weird White Sox thing that happened. But he does now join the Orioles. As a player, Bourgeoa was around for a little while. He was drafted out of high school in the second round by the Rangers all the way back in 2000. Bounced around in the minor leagues for a long time with multiple different orgs before he finally debuted with the White Sox. Played three games at the end of the 2008 season, then played a little bit more with the Brewers in 2009, and then finally caught on with the Houston Astros in 2010. He spent two seasons in Houston with 2011 being his best season as a player. He was an outfielder. Had just an 89 WRC plus and a 1 F war, but played 93 games. Stole 31 bases. Kind of a platoon bench outfielder for the Astros. Then he stuck in the big leagues for the next four seasons. Bounced around with the Royals, the Rays, and the Reds from 2012 to 2015. Had a couple of minor league deals after that that saw him in AAA. Played one season in the Mexican League in 2018 and then retired. and the Dodgers pretty much immediately hired him as a coach even though he had never played for the Dodgers organization either in the minors or the majors. They hired him right after he retired. Pretty impressive there. That that really shows you that a lot of people were talking up Jason Bawis to the Dodgers and he knew some people in that org and got that job. And speaking of knowing people, he does have a connection to Craig Albernaz. The two were teammates in AAA Durham in the Rays system in 2013, so they at least knew each other in passing. And he was in Houston in 2010 and 2011. Now, Mike Elias’s first year with the Astros was 2012, so there was no crossover with Bisah, but you’d have to think Elias knows a lot of people in Houston who knew Baois. So, at least a kind of a secondary connection there that leads to it making sense that the Orioles would hire him as their first base coach. with it being base running and outfield defense. On the outfield defense position, like I trust Cowser out there. I think a healthy Tyler O’Neal knows what to do out there. I think the guys that hopefully he’ll be working with is really Dylan Beavers. I don’t think Dylan Beaver is ever going to be a center fielder, but he’s a little shaky in the corner outfielders with the way Beaver’s bat looked last year. You want to make sure he’s at least comfortable defensively in either left field or right field. That’s going to be a project. And the other one is if if Hston Kerstad is healthy enough to come back to the big leagues next year. I mean, something’s got to be done about how bad his defense was in the outfield. So, that’s probably another thing uh that they would address. And probably a little bit of work from Jeremiah Jackson to get better and better in the outfield if you want to continue and potentially make this team next year. In terms of the base running, I mean, besides Gunnar Henderson, everybody needs some work and something the Royals really need to be focusing on this off seasonason to get better at in 2026. But those were the additions to the org. Do you want to talk about some subtractions cuz at the end of every season there are some minor leaguers who are released or who hit free agency. And I always want to give a shout out to those guys who have grinded away in the O system. So I want to give just a quick shout out to a handful of players who hit free agency this week. That’s coming up next to finish off the show. But first, this episode of the Locked on Orioles podcast is also brought to you by FanDuel.

So, head to fanduel.com and sign up and play your game with FanDuel, the official sports betting partner of the NBA. So, I wanted to give a shout out to some guys. I do this throughout the season, usually around the draft or the trade deadline when guys are getting released. At the end of the season, it’s a mix of both. Some guys are released, more likely their time on their minor league contract comes up, whether they were on a one-year deal or they were drafted and they never got to the big leagues and they basically become a minor league free agent. And you always just want to shout out the guys who, you know, grinded in the minor. Maybe they made the big leagues briefly, maybe they didn’t. But to wish them well, whatever is next, they always could come back to the Orioles, but I always like to talk about these guys on the show to make sure they get a little bit of love before they go to potentially another organization or even kind of have their baseball career end as well. So, these are all Orioles minor leaguers who one way or another hit minor league free agency over the past two weeks. First one is 28-year-old right-handed pitcher Logan Reinhardt, who did not pitch at all this season after getting his second Tommy John surgery early in the year. His first one was in 2021 when he was with the Mariners or and then got another one this year. Now, Reinhardt made it to AAA briefly at the end of 2024 for the first time in his career after posting a 2.57 erra as a reliever in DA buoy that season. So, even though he was older, there seemed to be a chance maybe that he could get himself to the big leagues, but the Tommy John just put that on the back burner. Now, Reinhardt came over in a trade in 2023 when the Orioles DFAD Edward Bazardo. They got claimed by the Mariners and the O’s were able to get Reinhardt in a mini trade to get Bazardo over to Seattle. Now, if you recognize the name Edward Bazardo, it’s not just because he pitched a handful of games out of the Orioles bullpen in 2023. It’s because he became one of the main setup man for the Seattle Mariners this year. And of course, he was awesome for Seattle all year and then threw the pitch that ended their season, the three-run homer by George Springer in game seven of the ALCS. Kind of made him famous for a different reason, but Logan Reinhardt, we wish you well. Next one is 23-year-old right-handed hitting infielder Noah Romero. Now, he spent most of this season in double A, but was kind of just a filler player. He had just 158 with a 20 WRC plus and missed the final three months of the season with injury. The reason why Romero is notable is that he was traded to the from the Red Sox to the Orioles at the 2019 deadline for Andrew Kner. For those online Orioles fans out there, if you know, you know. He was one of the two players sent over in the that seals the deal trade. and Elio Prado, the other one, was released last year. So, Romero was the only one left. Now, he hits free agency as well. 23-year-old left-handed pitcher Chipper Manard was also released. He signed as an undrafted free agent out of Louisiana Monroe after the draft in 2024. Didn’t pitch down the stretch last year. Debuted in Delm Marva this year. Had a 6.04 RA in 28 and a3 innings at low A and then Menard was released. Michelle Desone, the 23-year-old right-handed hitting outfielder who has not played in an Orioles minor league game since 2022, missed three full seasons, but remained in the organization, presumably due to multiple injuries, but I never really found out what the exact things that were going on with Deson. Now, back in 2022, the last time he was playing in games, he was 20 years old and Fan Graphs ranked him the number 25 prospect in the Orio system. like he had some cache. He came over to the O’s in the 2020 trade with the Rockies that sent Michael Given to Colorado and got the Orioles Day along with Tyler Nevin and Taran Vavra, but just injuries and whatever it was shut him down. You know, I wish him the best. Whatever is going on there, but he is finally released after not playing for three seasons. Next one is 27-year-old right-handed pitcher Houston Roth, who really grinded his way through the Orio system. selected by Michaelas and the Orioles in his first draft, a 29th round pick out of Old Miss back in 2019, a round that doesn’t even exist in the draft anymore. Roth, who grinded and grinded through injuries and other things all the way up, was finally called up for a few days this year in August, I believe, but never got into a game to debut and then was sent back down to AAA. Solid numbers in AAA this year, 41 innings, 332 erra with a 25% strikeout rate and a 12% walk rate. had a four seam fast ball at 92, but had good vertical movement, had a solid sweeper. He’s only 27, so if he wants to keep playing, I’m sure another team will give him a minor league deal and stick him in AAA as depth. Maybe even the Orioles will bring him back. But I hope Roth gets at least one more chance to get called up again and actually get into a big league game. Next one is 28-year-old right-handed pitcher Thaddius Ward, who the Orioles claimed off waiverss from the Washington Nationals last off season, then kind of cleared him through waiverss and kept him in the organization in AAA as depth. He had pitched in the big leagues with the Nationals in 2023 after they scooped him up as a rule five pick, but it didn’t go super well and then they later DFA him. He spent all year in AAA while he wasn’t great, right? 32 appearances, 23 starts, had a 534 erra in 120 innings. At the end of the day, he ate 120 innings for the Norfol Tides. He was second only behind Cameron Weston. It was 13th overall in the International League in AAA in just innings pitched this year. So, even though he wasn’t great and it was a good sweeper, but otherwise kind of iffy and was never really that close to even a big league call up, even when the Orioles were cycling through so many arms in the bullpen after the trade deadline, it’s always nice to have someone in AAA who you can just count on every fifth or sixth day to take the ball, give you five or six innings, and keep everybody else healthy and on rotation. We salute Ward for that one and hope he finds another gig that gets him back to the big leagues. Next one is 29-year-old right-handed hitting catcher Jackson Reits, who played 22 games with the Norfol Tides this year, had a 78 WRC plus. He was just a panic signing by the Orioles. The O’s signed him to a minor league deal in the middle of the season when all the catchers were hurt. This was when like Adley was on the IIL and Gary Sanchez was on the IIL and then Maverick Handley also got hurt and then Chad Trump also got hurt and the Orioles had Alex Jackson and Jacob Stallings as their catchers and they basically had nobody besides Basio left in Triple A. So they just needed a catcher to be a warm body so they signed Jackson Reeds to do that. Uh not surprising that he was released after that. And the final one is probably the biggest name out of all these guys because he’s the only one who actually played in the big leagues with the Orioles. And that is 25-year-old left-handed hitting infielder Levon Sodto who came over to the Orioles along with Austin Slater in a small trade with the Cincinnati Reds at the 2024 deadline. Though remember the Orioles got so injured down the stretch last year that Sodto was on the roster for most of like the final two months of the year. Got into 12 games as kind of a reserve infielder. and started a couple of games for the O’s when their offense was so lacking they tried something and so did get a you know on base and get a hit a couple of times there but he went back to AAA this year and was not called up again. He was outright off the 40man and he really for the first time was not good in AAA. Sodto had put up some good AAA numbers previously which got him to the big leagues with the Angels and eventually with the Orioles but 96 games about 360 played appearances in Norfol this year. Sodto hit just 195 and posted just a 59 WRC plus. His defense is still really good at all three infield positions and the O’s really like that defense. So they may try and bring him back on a minor league deal to continue to be depth. But that offensive season was so so bad. I think the Orioles were okay with letting him walk this off season.

If there is no Orioles news, hiring signings, whatever, in the next 24 hours, we are finally going to get into some free agency talk on tomorrow’s episode when I kind of audit my free agency predictions from last year to get us ready for this off seasonason. So, that is hopefully coming up on tomorrow’s episode. But until then, I’m Connor Nukem and this has been the Locked Orioles podcast, part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your team every day.

The roster moves keep coming for the Baltimore Orioles, as they signed RHP Enoli Paredes to a minor league deal and hired Jason Bourgeois to be their new first base coach. Host Connor Newcomb breaks down those moves and bodes farewell to the Orioles minor league players who elected free agency this week.
