Kyle Bradish’s latest surgery should force Orioles to consider drastic offseason measure

Writer Brian Burrows argues that the Baltimore Orioles should consider trading starting pitcher Kyle Bradish this offseason following news of his upcoming sports hernia surgery. The club announced on September 28 that the 30-year-old right-hander would undergo the procedure, marking his fifth different injury in five seasons with Baltimore.

Burrows contends that despite Bradish signing a five-year, $90 million extension in July, Baltimore needs rotation stability to reach the postseason. Burrows suggests that rival clubs would still highly value Bradish on his manageable contract, allowing the Orioles to secure a solid return.
