"Accordingly, the O's have been connected to a wide number of free agents and trade candidates this winter. They made a notable move a couple of weeks ago, sending four prospects and a draft pick to the Rays for Shane Baz. A week ago, they brought back Eflin via a one-year, $10MM deal with a mutual option for 2027. If the season started today, the rotation would feature Kyle Bradish, Trevor Rogers, Baz and Eflin in four spots."
"Bradish just returned from Tommy John surgery late last year and made just six starts. He only made eight starts in 2024 before the surgery, so that's just 14 starts and 77 1/3 innings over the past two years. Wells is similar, having made just seven starts over the past two years due to his own elbow surgery."
Orioles continue seeking another starting pitcher via free agency or trade to improve a rotation that posted a 4.65 collective ERA in 2025. Tomoyuki Sugano became a free agent, reducing depth. Baltimore traded four prospects and a draft pick for Shane Baz and re-signed Eflin to a one-year, $10 million deal with a mutual option for 2027. The current rotation projection lists Kyle Bradish, Trevor Rogers, Baz and Eflin, with Dean Kremer the likely fifth starter and several depth arms on options or minor-league deals. Several rotation pieces carry recent injury histories and limited workloads.
