Orioles Interested in Justin Verlander

The Orioles have expressed interest in Justin Verlander as a potential addition to their rotation, alongside their recent acquisitions of Shane Baz and Zach Eflin. While Verlander, at 43, showcased solid performance with a 3.85 ERA last season, Baltimore may view him as a fallback option if they don’t secure a higher-ceiling pitcher like Framber Valdez. The team’s front office, led by Mike Elias, has a history of targeting older starters for shorter contracts, aligning with their approach this offseason. Despite past rotation struggles, the Orioles have opened their checkbook recently, including a significant signing of Pete Alonso.
