| 10/29/25 | [Last Word on Sports] - Four Pitchers the Orioles Could Trade For During the Offseason. It's no secret that the need a better rotation for the 2026 season. The team the fifth-worst ERA, fourth-worst WHIP, and fifth-worst OBA in the majors this season. A rash of injuries decimated the pitching staff as well, which didn't help matters. Top pitching prospects Grayson Rodriguez, Tyler Wells, and Kyle Bradish headlined the massive injured reserve throughout the season. Rookie Brandon Young struggled immensely over 12 starts before getting injured as well. Baltimore must address the gaping holes in the rotation for next year, especially if the returning starters struggle. There are four reasonable pitchers the team can seek to bring on their team. Four Pitchers the Orioles Could Target Via Trade This Offseason 1) RHP Hunter Greene, Cincinnati Reds 2025 Stats: 19 games started; 7-4; 2.76 ERA; 107 2/3 IP; 75 hits and 26 walks (0.938 WHIP); 15 HR; 132 K; .192 OBA There has been significant trade discussion surrounding Greene following the end of the Reds' 2025 season. Jim Bowden of The Athletic on the rumors Oct. 23 in a list of pitchers he sees are likely to be traded. He added that, while he didn't see a trade given his team control until 2029, there could be injury concerns that the Reds might not want to deal with.

Mandatory Credit: Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images[/caption] Despite holding only four pitches in his arsenal, Greene has a very effective four-seamer and slider combo. It's generated a 90th or better percentile rating in chase and whiff rates, strikeout rates, and a low walk rate. However, he does allow a lot of hard hits and barrels, along with a low grounder rate. HUNTER GREENE IS GUNNING FOR THE NY CY YOUNG — Thomas Nestico (@TJStats) The 34% grounder rate is exceptionally low, while his 11.2% pop-up rate is a silver lining. If he gets his grounder rate over 40%, he will be a far better pitcher than he is now. As for a potential trade, Cincinnati needs hitting. The Orioles could lure Greene away by trading a catching prospect in Caden Bodine or an outfielder in Enrique Bradfield Jr. It's hard to do, but there could be enough capital to reach for a deal and get it done. 2) LHP Mackenzie Gore, Washington Nationals 2025 Stats: 30 games started; 5-15; 159 2/3 Innings Pitched; 4.17 ERA; 152 Hits and 64 walks (1.353 WHIP); 20 HR; 185 K; .252 OBA The Orioles need a second left-handed pitcher to help out Trevor Rogers in the rotation. There might be a very expensive left-handed pitcher hitting the trade market in 2026, but Gore is the likelier option in any scenario. Despite getting an All-Star nod in 2025, Gore collapsed in the second half of the season, throwing an ERA of around 5.50 between July and October. When he's good, however, he's very effective, as by his strong April and May. MacKenzie Gore to start 2025: 99 swings + misses (1st) 35.4 whiff percentage (2nd) 13.0 K/9 (1st) 68 Out-of-Zone swing + misses (1st) Finally, the breakout we have been waiting for?? — SleeperMLB (@SleeperMLB) He put up a respectable chase rate, but was effective in the whiffs department with a 30% clip. Like Greene, he also struggled with batters making solid contact on the ball. Most of that came from his four-seamer, especially his 31% flyball rate. He must redevelop his fastball to be successful with Baltimore should they trade for him. Gore's price is likely elevated due to the All-Star appearance. The Orioles do have some mid-tier minor-league pitchers for the Nationals, including Braxton Bragg and Trey Gibson. A trade could get done without costing too much. 3) RHP Sandy Alcántara, Miami Marlins 2025 Stats: 31 games started; 11-12; 5.36 ERA; 174 2/3 Innings Pitched; 165 hits and 57 walks (1.271 WHIP); 22 HR; 142 K; .247 OBA Once upon a time, Alcántara was seen as one of the best pitchers in the game following his dream 2022 campaign. He went the distance in six games, including one shutout, then did the same in 2023 with three complete games. Then, one Tommy John surgery later, he seems to be struggling to where the Marlins want him gone for some return. A silver lining is that his groundball rate remains above 45%, which could signal his defense behind him isn't great. At the same time, his chase and walk rates are middle of the pack. But, like the aforementioned pitchers on this list, he gets batted around and also has trouble locking in strikeouts. His changeup is his pitch, while his fastball is his worst pitch outside of his curveball. It's possible the years of strain on his arm messed his mechanics up. He's servicable, but no longer Cy Young quality. With one year of team control remaining, the team might not have to surrender much. They could get a good year out of him until a suitable starter comes along. 4) LHP Jacob Lopez, Athletics 2025 Stats: 21 appearan... Source: https://sportspyder.com/mlb/oakland-athletics/arti... |

| 6/15/25 | Injured Baltimore Orioles Star Utilityman Expects to Return to Lineup Soon. The Baltimore Orioles have had extremely bad injury luck throughout the first part of their 2025 campaign, dealing with a wide variety of setbacks across pretty much the entire roster. From Grayson Rodriguez to Ryan Mountcastle to Tyler O'Neill, they have been having to put up with pretty substantial setbacks for most of the year. This seems to be the case with a few more of their lineup members in the near future as well, with one in particular nearing a return after injury, that being first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn. O'Hearn suffered an ankle injury recently and has missed a few games in an attempt to recover from it, which seemingly has worked, according to recent reports.

| 6/12/25 | Orioles' Skipper Breaks Silence Gives Update on Star Pitcher's Injury Recovery. One of the many issues that the Baltimore Orioles have had to deal with so far in 2025 has been the absences of star pitcher Grayson Rodriguez due to injury. The right-hander had a breakout campaign in 2024 and, as such, was expected to be a key part of the Orioles' rotation this season. Unfortunately for both him and the team, however, lingering injury issues have kept him sidelined so far in 2025. Rodriguez was initially placed on the 15-day IL at the end of spring training with triceps and elbow discomfort, but things quickly got worse, causing the team to bump up his stay on the IL to 60 days with a lat strain.

Without them, things got ugly fast, with the team's offseason additions of Charlie Morton and Kyle Gibson both failing miserably. Morton remains on the team, but Gibson was designated for assignment after four abysmal starts. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/orioles/news/orioles-prospe... |

Grayson Rodriguez has missed time this year while Tyler Wells and Kyle Bradish have yet to make their 2025 season debuts. On the batting front, besides Ryan O'Hearn - .295/.378/.518 - every position player who has had a normal amount of at bats is having subpar statistical seasons.

| 5/02/25 | Is Baltimore Orioles Rotation Sole Reason to Blame for Horrendous Start?. The Baltimore Orioles are off to a disastrous start to the season, and the promising franchise has major concerns now. Coming into the year, expectations for the Orioles was to be a playoff team in the American League and compete for the top spot in the AL East once again. David Schoenfield of ESPN (subscription required) recently wrote about the disastrous start in April for the Orioles. “Having the worst ERA+ in the majors this season certainly isn't great, and it hasn't helped that Grayson Rodriguez hasn't pitched and Zach Eflin went down after three starts, but it's amazing how little they've gotten as a group this season from all those highly rated young hitters.” Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/orioles/news/is-baltimore-o... |
