Trevor Rogers

Rogers came over to the Orioles at the trade deadline for Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers and was a major flop. He posted a 7.11 ERA across four starts with a 12/10 K/BB ratio in 19 innings before the Orioles sent him down to Triple-A. Given the limited additions Baltimore has made to their team this offseason, they need Rogers to come into spring training and claim a spot in their starting rotation, but it's a huge risk to assume he can do that and one fantasy managers shouldn't take outside of the deepest formats.

Quality over quantity would have been the better approach for the Orioles, but an upgrade is still an upgrade. The Morton signing knocked fifth-starter candidates Trevor Rogers, Albert Suarez and Cade Povich out of current rotation picture. Another addition would probably come at Dean Kremer's expense, even though Kremer has gone 29-22 with a 3.85 ERA over the last three seasons. Of course, spring injuries could change things in a hurry.
