If they won't spend on a starting pitcher, this may be there only option.
There's a universal expectation that the Baltimore Orioles will be in the market for a starting pitcher this offseason. There is no shock factor when it comes to that realization, considering the need for rotation stability has existed for the Orioles since the start of the season. With the expectation being that the Orioles could return to contention next season, simply running it back with the strategy they had this season can't be an option.
