Baltimore Orioles Viewed As Team To Make Huge Move

The Baltimore Orioles are viewed as a quiet team that can make a loud move in the offseason.

As the offseason continues, worry stays for Baltimore Orioles fans. The front office has mentioned their interest in starting pitching, but with a deal not in place yet to land one of the top arms on the market, many are getting impatient.

Dylan Cease, Corbin Burnes, and Shane Bieber have all been names floated as possibilities this offseason. If the Orioles wanted to land any of them, they have more than enough in the farm system to get it done.

In fact, Baltimore has enough to land all of them if they wanted to, according to Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com, as he lists the Orioles as a quiet team that can still make a noisy move.

While trading for all three is highly unlikely, it shows the depth of the best farm system in baseball. The front office has done a job that can't be replicated, perhaps building the best farm system in MLB history.

With a chance to compete for a World Series next season and many years after that, the obvious choice for them is Cease.

Cease is a top-of-the-line starter who still has two years of club control. He's young, too, so he fits their ideal timeline. 

It was expected that Baltimore was going to make a move last deadline. However, they decided against it and let the young roster try to figure things out.

They did more than that, winning 101 games on their way to an AL East first-place finish. Despite being swept in the ALDS, they showed their potential much earlier than expected.  

Adding an arm is a must for the Orioles as they look to get over last season's playoff sweep and compete when it matters most.
