It didn't take ESPN's Jeff Passan to say it for Baltimore Orioles fans to realize the team needs pitching (and lots of it) this offseason . Watching the Orioles stumble their way through a 75-win season in 2025 was confirmation of just how silly it was for Mike Elias not to replace former ace Corbin Burnes in the starting rotation. The Orioles are talking a big game this offseason, suggesting they have the money to spend, and Passan believes they'll prove it.
In typical Passan-fashion, he vividly illustrates what the Orioles were last season and what they need while pitching the "perfect" move for their offseason.
