Due to injuries, trades, and some players stalling out, this just isn’t the group of Orioles we were so excited about three months ago. Mike Eiias and his staff didn’t make a big move at the trade deadline, and of the smaller ones, only adding Zach Eflin was a win. Eflin has been a rock in the rotation, averaging more than six innings a start with a 3.42 FIP. Dominguez, Soto, Eloy Jimenez, and Trevor Rogers have combined to be a net negative, with the Rogers trade turning out exactly as badly as analysts projected.
