The hope is that a season where they were dubbed one of baseball's most disappointing teams while firing their manager along the way would point the Baltimore Orioles in a position where they will be aggressive this offseason. Aggressive in their search for a new manager, but most importantly, aggressive in addressing the biggest need: starting pitching.
It's easier said than done for the Orioles. This is the same team that was largely dormant last offseason and failed to replace Corbin Burnes at the top of their rotation. That was an offseason where the Orioles had the impression of being ready to be among the powerhouses of the American League.
