Baltimore Orioles: 3 free-agent relievers who could help in 2019
The Baltimore Orioles had one of the worst bullpens in MLB in 2018. A couple cheap free-agent acquisitions could not only help the O’s in 2019, but could potentially be flipped for assets at the trade deadline
Relief pitchers in today’s game are extremely volatile and the Baltimore Orioles have a comprehensive understanding of this. The O’s used 30 pitchers in 2018, including Jace Peterson and Danny Valencia and almost none of them had any success.
Richard Bleier was good before he got hurt, Darren O’Day was serviceable before he was traded, and Paul Fry posted a respectable 3.11 FIP with a 36/15 K/UIBB.
