The Baltimore Orioles are evaluating their starting rotation requirements as the offseason approaches, with the front office exploring potential solutions to strengthen the pitching staff for the 2027 campaign.

Right-hander Shane Baz, who wore number 34, appeared in a September 15, 2026 game against the New York Mets at Citi Field in New York City. The outing provided the organization with additional data as they assess internal options alongside external acquisition targets.

General manager Mike Elias and his staff are expected to weigh trade possibilities, free-agent signings, and the development timeline of prospects within the system. The Orioles' rotation depth will be a key storyline throughout the winter meetings and into spring training.
