Locked On Orioles - Daily Podcast On The Baltimore Orioles

Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander, and Carlos Rodón would each clearly be the ace of the Baltimore Orioles pitching staff if Mike Elias signed them. But, if the Orioles miss out on one of those guys, who else could the O's bring in to fill that No. 1 spot in the starting rotation?

Host Connor Newcomb runs through the group of "tier two" free agent starting pitchers like Chris Bassitt, Jameson Taillon, Kodai Senga, Nathan Eovaldi, and others, and posits whether they could be the ace of the Orioles 2023 staff.

Then, Connor breaks down the free agents who could help the back end of the rotation, including Andrew Heaney, Ross Stripling, Noah Syndergaard, and others.
