The Baltimore Orioles have faced ongoing issues with starting pitching, culminating in their elimination from the 2023 playoffs. In response, general manager Mike Elias traded for ace Corbin Burnes, but injuries prevented the team from reaching its potential. Following Burnes' departure, the Orioles aimed to acquire left-hander Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox but ultimately failed to make a strong offer. Crochet was traded to the Boston Red Sox instead, where he signed a significant extension. The Orioles' decision not to secure Crochet may haunt them as they face him in the AL East for years to come.
The Baltimore Orioles' failure to secure Garrett Crochet has left them facing a formidable new challenge in the Boston Red Sox's rising star pitcher.
Despite showing interest in acquiring Crochet, the Orioles missed the opportunity, allowing Boston to benefit from the young ace on a long-term contract.
