With the additions of veteran left-handers Wade LeBlanc and Tommy Milone to their 40-man roster Wednesday night, the Orioles have formally positioned themselves to have a far more experienced rotation in 2020 than they did in last year’s 108-loss campaign.
It’s plausible All-Star and Opening Day starter John Means will be the least experienced member of the Orioles’ rotation, pitching ahead of veterans Alex Cobb, LeBlanc and Milone, as well as right-hander Asher Wojciechowski, who is even with Means in career major league starts but is four years older. Kohl Stewart, a 25-year-old right-hander who was the Minnesota Twins’ fourth overall draft pick in 2013, is also in the mix.
