It's obvious the Baltimore Orioles must be aggressive in trying to improve on a starting pitching staff that had a 5.70 ERA in 2017, but how will they go about finding new starters?
Throughout the next several weeks, you'll see all sorts of names linked with the Orioles. Some of the most popular ones will be Texas Rangers right-hander Andrew Cashner, Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Alex Cobb, St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Lance Lynn, New York Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia, Kansas City Royals right-hander Jason Vargas, as well as former Orioles right-hander Miguel Gonzalez.
There will be countless other names associated with the Orioles, but those six would all represent a step up from the 2017 performances of right-handers Jeremy Hellickson, Ubaldo Jimenez and Chris Tillman and left-hander Wade Miley.
