The Orioles squeaked in a flurry of moves yesterday before the deadline officially arrived. The blockbuster deal never came, but Baltimore acquired several players that could make a difference in the second half.
It’s easy to question the deals or whether the club could have done more, but the roster is set. Jackson Holliday will reportedly join the team today, and Coby Mayo could arrive at some point, but the Orioles have the bunch that will march toward a championship this fall.
Baltimore did its best to improve the bullpen without relinquishing top prospects, but the biggest upgrades came to the starting rotation.
