In an effort to improve an offense that ranked 10th in the American League in home runs and 13th in RBIs, Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail traded for power-hitting third baseman Mark Reynolds, then secured free agent sluggers Derrek Lee and Vladimir Guerrero.
MacPhail also obtained shortstop J.J. Hardy from the Minnesota Twins, signed free agent starter Justin Duchscherer and enhanced the back end of the bullpen by re-signing Koji Uehara and landing free agents Kevin Gregg and Jeremy Accardo.
The Orioles went 34-23 after Showalter arrived in early August.
Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report Sunday to camp in Sarasota, Fla.
