Mike Elias’ free-agent connection speaks volumes to Orioles fans looking for a splash

The Baltimore Orioles have had an active offseason, trading for Taylor Ward and signing Ryan Helsley, but they still haven't addressed their top priority. The Orioles need a top-of-the-rotation starting pitcher and have been forced to watch from the sidelines while Dylan Cease signed with the Toronto Blue Jays and Sonny Gray was traded to the Boston Red Sox.

Even if the Orioles were looking at Cody Ponce as a potential option, the Blue Jays have already taken him off the market as well.

Less than a week before the Winter Meetings, Orioles fans are hoping the team's next splash is for one of the top free-agent starting pitchers still available.
