Orioles have announced that they had selected the external prospect contract Beavers Dylan From Triple-A Norfolk. In the corresponding movement, the outfall Greg Allen was appointed for an assignment to create space on the lists of 26 men and 40 men.
Beavers will make his debut in MLB every time he appears in a game, and he appears to obtain regular playing time for a Baltimore team which is well out of ligature. The promotion is a nice late birthday present for Beavers, which was 24 years earlier this week.
Selected 33rd in total in the recovery of 2022 and with the first choice of the competitive balance Round A, the Beavers struck very well in his first two professional seasons before taking a step back in 2024. He crushed the Double-A pitch in 2023 but posted more modest numbers (0.756 ops more than 509 pa) at the same level, and did not time during a brief triple-Ameo.
Beavers spent the whole 2025 season in Norfolk and returned to the right track, reaching. 304 / .420 / .515 with 18 circuits out of 418 PA, and he stole 23 bases in 28 attempts. He missed a few weeks due to a sprained shoulder, but that did not slow down the beavers for a year which saw him considerably increase his number of hard contacts and his walking rate while reducing his stick withdrawals. Beavers has only withdrawn 76 times this season, while walking 68 times.
This wave has earned Beavers in the 83rd place on the August American Baseball update on its list of the 100 best prospects. The MLB pipeline kept beavers out of its top 100, but as Ba, also classifies the beavers as the third best hope of the Orioles Agricultural System. The two screening reports note how Beavers spent a large part of his professional career to modify his swing to earn more power and become more productive against high speed, and it would seem that these swing adjustments are paying off. Its solid speed and basic capacity adds to its offensive value as a stolen basic threat. Defensively, Beavers is considered an angle outfall, with a chance to stay on the right due to an arm of launching above average.
The specific timing of the promotion of beavers is not surprising, because to come on August 16 means that the Bearvers will spend less than 45 days on the MLB list, and the Orioles will surely keep it below the threshold of 130 At-Bat. This means that the beavers will keep its eligibility recruited in 2026, and therefore it could remain eligible for the incentive of the promotion of prospects by assuming that it makes at least two of the prospects of the pre-season of baseball America, Pipeline or ESPN.com. Eligible PPI recruits can offer an additional choice of draft for their teams, if they qualify for a full year of service and then won the honors of the recruit of the year or record one finish among the first three in the MVP vote or the Cy Young Award voting during their years of pre-arbitration.
The end -of -season end -of -season callups have long been part of baseball for a long time, although the PPI system has now set up a specific chronology on how teams tackle certain promotions from their best minor leaguers. GM Mike Elias has more or less admitted earlier this week that PPI rules were a factor in Orioles plans for beavers and the best hopes Samuel BasalloSo it would not be a surprise so Basallo also made its MLB debut before the end of the 2025 season.
Allen signed with O on August 8 because the team needed a rapid depth due to a series of injuries on the ground. The seven Allen games with Baltimore have marked his first game of big league since the 2023 season, although this is a rather ignominious passage, because he did not reach the base in any of his 14 plaques appearances. Before joining the Orioles, Allen played for the Triple-A of the Cubs affiliate and struck. 270 / .355 / .440 on 231 PA.
Veteran of eight MLB seasons, Allen is known for its speed and its ability to play the three external positions, even if it has never produced much on the dish. He is outside the minor leagues options, and as he has previously been overremplified by his career, he will have the opportunity to elect the free agency if he erases the derogations. It is possible that a team that needs external field depth can bring Allen Board to a derogation complaint, but it seems more likely to enter into a free agency and will land elsewhere on a minors contract.
