Orioles assess rotation needs and potential trade targets for offseason
Summary

The Baltimore Orioles are facing pressing questions about their pitching rotation ahead of the offseason. With Trevor Rogers unavailable and a rotation led by Kyle Bradish, Shane Baz, Brandon Young, Cade Povich, and Trey Gibson projected, concerns persist over performance and depth. The team’s previous efforts to bolster the rotation fell short, and recent discussions have identified potential trade options, including Steven Kwan and Reid Detmers. As free agency approaches, the Orioles must address their pitching needs while preparing for the potential impacts of the MLB lockout looming in December.
