The Baltimore Orioles entered the offseason with many of the same needs that they had entering the hot stove season last year. A front of the rotation arm is still needed. Depth in the rotation, too.

Hindsight is 20/20, but if the Orioles had made different choices last offseason, they'd be in a stronger position this year. To that end, we're going to take a look at some realistic things they could have done which may have saved 2025, and left Mike Elias much less work to do.
