Orioles Seeking Pitching Upgrades But Unwilling to Overpay Prospects; Infield Depth and Lefty Relievers Provide Trade Flexibility
- Orioles GM says team is being "as aggressive as any" on trade market for pitching, but prospects are too valuable to overpay
- Depth of MLB-ready infield prospects could make players like Urias expendable; versatility and affordability attract trade interest
- Zimmermann and Akin making progress from injuries, provide rotation and bullpen depth
- Numerous lefty relief options with Coulombe, Perez, Akin and Hall
- Hall's future role uncertain; O's still see him as starter long-term but could relieve in 2023
