Contract Value Index (CVI)
Jeremiah Jackson's one-year, $0.8M deal with the Orioles earns a B+ CVI grade, representing shrewd roster construction during Baltimore's competitive window. Jackson brings above-average starter production at second base—a position where the Orioles needed reliable depth behind their core infield—while consuming minimal payroll space that preserves flexibility for bigger moves. The short-term commitment is particularly smart given Jackson's age and development trajectory, allowing the organization to evaluate his fit within their championship-caliber roster without blocking prospects or creating future financial obligations. At this salary point, Jackson only needs to deliver roughly 1.5-2 WAR to justify the investment, a threshold well within reach for an above-average starter getting regular playing time. The deal perfectly aligns with Baltimore's approach of supplementing their young core with proven veterans on team-friendly terms, maximizing value while maintaining the payroll space needed to retain their cornerstone players long-term.
Performance Analysis
Jeremiah Jackson grades as an above average performer among MLB second basemen, earning a B Performance grade. He is hitting with a 0.276 batting average and a 0.775 OPS (near the league average of .720) this season. With 5 home runs and 21 RBI through 48 games (a 17-HR, 71-RBI pace over a full season), he brings moderate power to the lineup. As a rookie at 26, Jeremiah is a key contributor for the Orioles.
