How many outfielders is too many outfielders to possibly squeeze into the major league roster picture at once? The Orioles, with this week’s signing of Ramón Laureano, have got a lot of people thinking that one possible resolution of what is now an apparent jam is that somebody is going to get traded. The O’s still seem to need a top-of-the-rotation starting pitcher and there could maybe stand to be some more certainty in the bullpen too.
This is not just a thought process playing out solely among Orioles fans. Elsewhere on the SB Nation MLB network, our friends at the Padres site Gaslamp Ball and the Guardians site Covering the Corner both took notice of the O’s outfield surplus yesterday and offered trade thoughts with differing levels of specificity.
