The Orioles’ most pressing offseason needs

As Major League Baseball's General Managers Meetings take place in Las Vegas, the Baltimore Orioles face three major roster priorities for the offseason: starting pitching, an outfield bat, and bullpen depth. Orioles President of Baseball Operations Mike Elias and newly hired General Manager Jared Banner are actively evaluating trades and free-agent options to address rotation vacancies left by departing free agents Trevor Rogers, Chris Bassitt, and Zach Eflin.

Jake Rill notes that Baltimore seeks a top-of-the-rotation starter to join Kyle Bradish and Shane Baz, while potentially exploring outfield targets like Seiya Suzuki or Randy Arozarena to provide right-handed balance. In the bullpen, while Félix Bautista and Ryan Helsley anchor the late innings, the club could target high-leverage left-handed relief such as free agent Adrian Morejon.
