Orioles Pursue Top Pitchers, Aroldis Chapman Joins Red Sox

As the MLB offseason heats up, several key developments are shaping the landscape for the upcoming season. The Baltimore Orioles, in particular, are focused on strengthening their pitching rotation, a critical area that has been a significant concern for the team.

The Orioles are eyeing top free-agent pitchers to fill the void at the top of their rotation. Corbin Burnes, a four-time All-Star, is one of the most coveted targets, although his potential signing would come with a hefty price tag. A six- or seven-year contract worth over $200 million is likely what it would take to secure Burnes, a commitment that might be challenging for the Orioles despite their new ownership group's willingness to invest[1].

Alternatively, the Orioles are considering other free-agent starters who might be more budget-friendly. Max Fried, a left-hander, is seen as a strong fit for the team. Other notable pitchers on the market include Nathan Eovaldi, Jack Flaherty, Shane Bieber, and Sean Manaea[1].

In other news, veteran reliever Aroldis Chapman has signed a one-year deal with the Boston Red Sox. This move adds depth to the Red Sox bullpen, bringing in a seasoned closer with a strong track record. Chapman's signing is expected to bolster the Red Sox's pitching staff as they prepare for the new season[2].

The offseason is also filled with speculation about other potential moves. Teams like the Blue Jays and Athletics are being watched closely as potential sleeper teams that could make significant moves to improve their rosters[3].
