The Baltimore Orioles face a critical offseason, with a significant need to bolster their starting pitching to return to the playoffs next year. Analysts, including Jim Bowden from The Athletic, suggest targeting reliable starters to bring stability and depth to the rotation. Michael King, who transitioned from bullpen to starter with the Padres, is a top contender, despite his injury history. Shane Bieber, traded to the Blue Jays, is another option, also with an injury history but potential for a bounce-back year. Veteran pitchers Merrill Kelly and Chris Bassitt are also on the table, offering experience and consistency. The Orioles must prioritize their rotation this winter to secure their postseason aspirations.
