Despite a 23-11 start to 2024, good for MLB’s second-best record, the Baltimore Orioles‘ pitching rotation could use some fine tuning, particularly the bullpen.

Do they look to the trade market?

If they do, cross Oakland Athletics closer, Mason Miller off the list.

Jake Mintz shot down the chances of an Orioles trade for the second-year closer, in a May 6 appearance on Glenn Clark Radio.

“The way the Orioles operated,” Mintz said. “They’re not going to overpay, Mike Elias doesn’t do that. I don’t see it as a realistic option.”

Miller has struck out 29 of 54 batters faced in 2024, including 2 in an April 26 extra-innings win over Baltimore.
