In the wake of the Baltimore Orioles' offseason activities, fans are expressing frustration over the team's recent acquisitions, which seem to lack long-term vision. The roster adjustments, featuring veteran pitchers, appear to be merely short-term fixes rather than a foundation for sustained success.

The Orioles' market viability was significantly compromised two decades ago with the introduction of the Washington Nationals, limiting their ability to pursue top-tier talent. This has led to a reliance on short-term contracts for players like Elfin, Morton, and Sugano, who are seen as subpar additions.
