At the start of the offseason, Mike Elias laid out a wishlist of roles that the Baltimore Orioles were looking to fill. Chief among them was a top of the rotation starter. It appears the Orioles are done adding to their rotation, and alas, for the second offseason in a row, the Orioles did not acquire a top-of-the-rotation starter.
One would think that failing to accomplish your No. 1 stated goal of the offseason would result in a feeling of disappointment or possibly shame, but Elias met with MASN writer Roch Kubatko to assure everyone he does not feel that way.
