Even the most disconnected Baltimore Orioles fans are well aware that their pitching situation, especially the rotation, isn't great at the moment. During the first half of the 2025 season, Baltimore ranks 28th in starting pitcher fWAR (3.2), 29th in starting pitcher ERA (5.16), and 27th in starting pitching FIP (4.69). That's a lot of numbers to say that the Orioles rotation has been dreadful throughout the 2025 season and could become significantly worse in the coming weeks.
Despite a bit of a hot stretch leading up to the MLB All-Star break, most experts and pundits believe the Orioles will do some measure of selling at the trade deadline.
