I know what you’re thinking; the Orioles have plenty of depth, they don’t need to venture into the free agent market this offseason, no free agents will want to sign here, etc. But as it stands, the Orioles rotation is a major weakness and they could do with some outside help.
The Orioles will head into the 2019 season with Alex Cobb, Dylan Bundy and Andrew Cashner atop the rotation but beyond that, there are major question marks. There’s a group of five pitchers currently on the 40-man who seem likely to get opportunities in Baltimore next year: David Hess, Josh Rogers, Luis Ortiz, Yefry Ramirez, and Jimmy Yacabonis.
