The Baltimore Orioles need starting pitchers, lots of them. During the Winter Meetings in San Diego, general manager Mike Elias said he wants eight to nine starting candidates in spring training, meaning he’s going to have to add a few more warm bodies to the mix who don’t mind pitching for one of the worst teams in baseball, in a ballpark that is unfriendly to pitchers as one can be, all while navigating through the gauntlet that is the American League East.
Sounds like quite the pitch to free agents, doesn’t it?
If the season started today, the Baltimore Orioles rotation would consist of LHP John Means, RHP Alex Cobb, RHP Asher Wojciechowski, and likely LHP Keegan Akin.
