The problem for the Baltimore Orioles is a heavy right-handed lineup. The team needs left-handed batters and a left-handed pitcher.
Duquette mentioned in the interview that he would like to find either an experienced left-handed outfielder or a possible DH with a left-handed bat. Fortunately, there are plenty of them available in this Hot Stove season.

Is Manny Machado's future in Baltimore? #Orioles GM Dan Duquette knows the team has to consider an extension for the third baseman now.

On the 40-man roster, the Orioles have three left-handed batters and only one is an experienced starter.
