Since it has become an annual ritual of summer, somebody needs to set the record straight about the Orioles and their never-ending search for a starting pitcher. That being said, it might as well be the gang at PressBox, so here goes.
Those who keep rehashing the need to trade for a coveted starter (notice "coveted" not third- or fourth-tiered candidate) need to come to grips with reality -- and here it is:
If you want the Orioles to trade for a pitcher the caliber of Matt Moore or Chris Archer (either of whom is available from Tampa Bay at the right price) you have to be willing to start the offer with Dylan Bundy ... not Mark Trumbo. And you probably have to be willing to add on if you want to get a response. Don't like that possibility and want to try another? OK, take a look at see what Jonathan Schoop would bring on the open market. That might work, but good luck with that one.
