This offseason, everyone was saying that the Baltimore Orioles needed to go out and sign one of the best starting pitchers available in free agency. The Orioles showed some interest in Ranger Suarez, but when the bidding got too high, they backed off. The team's confidence in Kyle Bradish may have been high enough to forgo spending on the top of the rotation starter. Do they believe Bradish is that guy?
That belief is not unfounded. Bradish has been that type of pitcher before. Since the start of the 2023 season, when healthy, he's been one of the best pitchers in baseball.
