After trading oft-injured starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez to the Los Angeles Angels for power-hitting outfielder Taylor Ward, the Baltimore Orioles gave off the impression that they'd found their impact bat.
Considering Ward's arrival adds to an already crowded outfield picture, and the Orioles have a dire need for pitching, it would make sense for Baltimore to turn their focus toward adding a top-of-the-rotation arm in free agency. And yet, a new Orioles rumor has them swimming in some deep waters with their eyes fixed on free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker.
The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon (subscription required) report that the Orioles haven't ruled out a pursuit of Tucker.
