Former Baltimore Orioles Reliever, Rumors Target Signs Megadeal With Dodgers

Starting pitching seems to be what everyone is focused on for the Baltimore Orioles for the rest of the offseason, but after they signed Charlie Morton and Tomoyuki Sugano to short-term deals, it looks like they’re set on it front.

When it comes to their lineup, the young players look to take on contributing roles and with the additions of Tyler O’Neill and Gary Sanchez, they were able to fill the gaps left by the departures of Anthony Santander and James McCann.

But the bullpen still appeared to be an area the Orioles could look to improve.

Although Mike Elias stated that he believes the unit will be a strength for the team as it is currently constructed, it is hard not to see the big step back the relief staff took in 2024 compared to the previous two years.

Getting Felix Bautista back and moving Albert Suarez into a swingman role certainly helps, but Baltimore was also seen as a destination for star closer Tanner Scott.

A reunion with the left-hander this winter, after the Orioles shipped him to the Miami Marlins in April 2022, would have made their bullpen one of the best in the league, if not the best.

Unfortunately, this option is no longer available for Baltimore.

Sore Mark Feinsand of MLB.comScott has agreed to a four-year, $72 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

It’s been an aggressive winter for the Dodgers even after winning the World Series, and this addition is just the latest in their bid to take over Major League Baseball.

The Orioles will have to go back to the drawing board if they want to add another bullpen arm now that their former sixth rounder has agreed to play elsewhere.
