Once the Baltimore Orioles get their next manager and bring order to the front office, the most pressing item of business will be addressing the starting rotation. Veterans and unproven arms like Charlie Morton and Tomoyuki Sugano just won't cut it anymore.
Mike Elias has promised to investigate all options and be willing to commit big in terms of both money and years to fix the pitching staff, though the numbers that the top-tier free-agent starters will command may give him pause.
After all, in addition to a rotation head, Baltimore could also use another arm for the rotation, a closer, a few setup men, and a few odds and ends on the offensive side.
