The Orioles have a fine bullpen. The group is third in the AL in fWAR (2.7) and fourth in FIP (3.70). They have one of the league’s better closers in Craig Kimbrel, a 36-year-old Hall-of-Fame hopeful that has rediscovered his glory in Baltimore. And the organization has a knack for spinning up steady relief arms out of nowhere. There’s a lot to like. But besides Kimbrel—especially with Danny Coulombe on the IL—things can often feel shaky in the late innings for the O’s. Solidifying that area of the team should be the front office’s top priority this month.
Depth is a strength of this Orioles team.
