When news broke yesterday that Dylan Bundy was traded to the Angels, one door closed while another opened. Yet another hole was punched in the rotation, which someone will have to fill. Knowing GM Mike Elias’ short and long-term trajectory for the club, the answer(s) won’t be anyone high-profile.
But what kind of guys do the O’s have in the farm system who could walk through that door next year and take a newly available back-end rotation spot?
There were 18 different pitchers, including openers, who made at least one start for the major league club last season.
