Orioles Ace Hunt: Who's on Your Radar?

The Orioles snagged Sugano, a solid addition, but their need for a true ace remains. Burnes is gone. So, where should the O's turn? Are they willing to spend big again, or will we see a more budget-conscious approach?

Is another trade on the horizon? Could they pry a top-tier arm from a team looking to rebuild? What about the free agent market? Are there any overlooked gems or bounce-back candidates who could make a real impact?

Some names being tossed around: Scherzer (risky, but intriguing), Montgomery (realistic?), or even someone like Keller or Gray. What do you think? Are any of these realistic targets, or are we aiming too high/low?

I'm predicting a bold move by Elias. He's shown he's not afraid to shake things up. My guess? They go after a younger, controllable arm via trade. Someone with ace potential, even if it means parting with some prospects.

Let's hear your predictions and potential targets! Who do YOU want to see leading the Orioles rotation in 2025?
