The Baltimore Orioles have been busy this offseason, making one of the winter's first splashes by trading Grayson Rodriguez to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for Taylor Ward and then following that up by inking Ryan Helsley to take the ball in the ninth. It's nice to see Mike Elias being proactive, but the offseason's biggest need remains untouched.
The Orioles need a consistent presence atop the rotation, and many believe that Ranger Suarez could fit the bill. The 30-year-old Venezuelan southpaw is something of a throwback, with his low-90s sinker and high groundball rate being the keys to his success.
