Orioles must monitor Blue Jays rotation shakeup as key trade option may emerge

The Toronto Blue Jays are making life difficult for the Baltimore Orioles and their search for starting pitching this offseason. Signing Dylan Cease wasn't enough for Toronto; they also added Cody Ponce, who turned his KBO success into a three-year deal worth $30 million. It's never fun to see a division rival poach a potential target, but in this case, Toronto may have opened up a trade option for the Orioles.

With the additions of Cease and Ponce, the Blue Jays' rotation seems to be set once you factor in that they already have Kevin Gausman, Shane Bieber, and World Series standout Trey Yesavage.
