The Baltimore Orioles<\/a> are doing what they can to bounce back from a brutal 2025.<\/p>\n

Expectations were high before opening day. But by midway through the season, it was clear this was a lost campaign.<\/p>\n

The Orioles have attacked the offseason like a team that knows it really has to get better to compete in a strong division, and that’s certainly a true sentiment.<\/p>\n

The Pete Alonso signing is the headline grabber right now, but there’s more to be done.<\/p>\n

One move that could be made: Signing Phillies free agent lefty Ranger Suarez.<\/p>\n

MLB.com’s Andrew Simon<\/a> calls such a move a “perfect fit.”<\/p>\n

“Baltimore has been as aggressive as anyone so far this offseason, seeking to put a disastrous 2025 in the rearview mirror,” Simon writes. “Alonso and Taylor Ward add needed right-handed thump to the lineup, Ryan Helsley\u00a0bolsters the back of the bullpen\u00a0and Shane Baz\u00a0could be a significant upgrade\u00a0over Grayson Rodriguez (traded for Ward) in the rotation. But that starting group still looks a little light, considering its dependence on pitchers with significant recent injury histories. Su\u00e1rez isn\u2019t going to pile up innings (147 on average in four seasons as a full-time starter) and doesn\u2019t pitch like your typical ace.\u00a0But he gets the job done, keeps runs off the board and has a sterling postseason resume.”<\/p>\n

There are a few other strong free agent pitchers still out there.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the offseason, the Orioles were often connected to Framber Valdez from the Astros.<\/p>\n

Suarez would probably cost less than Valdez, and he’s still a quality choice.<\/p>\n

Baltimore would certainly look better on paper with a guy like Suarez in the pitching rotation.<\/p>\n
