It’s no secret that the Baltimore Orioles<\/a> need a better rotation for the 2026 season. The team held<\/a> the fifth-worst ERA, fourth-worst WHIP, and fifth-worst OBA in the majors this season.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Four Pitchers the Orioles Could Target Via Trade This Offseason<\/h2>\n

1) RHP Hunter Greene, Cincinnati Reds<\/h3>\n

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<\/em><\/p>\n

There has been significant trade discussion surrounding Greene following the end of the Reds’ 2025 season. Jim Bowden of The Athletic first reported<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
