The Orioles' signing of LHP Jayvien Sandridge represents a low-risk organizational depth move that earns a C CVI, reflecting the modest expectations surrounding this addition. Sandridge profiles as a replacement-level pitcher who likely slots into the lower minors or serves as organizational filler, making this the type of transaction that generates minimal buzz around the league. While Baltimore continues to stock their system with arms, this particular signing lacks the upside or immediate impact potential that would elevate it beyond a routine roster move. The left-hander will need to significantly outperform his current projection to become anything more than minor league depth for an Orioles organization that has bigger fish to fry. This signing falls squarely into the "quantity over quality" category of moves that teams make to fill out their developmental pipeline without expecting meaningful contributions at the major league level.
