The Baltimore Orioles are aiming to build on their recent regular-season success, having won over 90 games in 2024. However, the team's playoff struggles continue, with back-to-back seasons of failing to win a postseason game highlighting their postseason woes. This offseason, the Orioles made headlines by acquiring ace pitcher Corbin Burnes from the Milwaukee Brewers. Yet, with Burnes on a short contract, he turned out to be a rental player for them. Baltimore has supplemented their roster by adding seasoned pitchers Charlie Morton and Tomoyuki Sugano, but neither offers the same caliber as Burnes. The Orioles are considering a significant trade proposal that would send Heston Kjerstad and Dean Kremer to the San Diego Padres in exchange for star pitcher Michael King and reliever Jason Adam. The addition of King, who recorded an impressive 2.95 ERA last season, could provide the Orioles with the ace they desperately need, while Adam's track record in late-game scenarios would bolster a struggling bullpen.
