Orioles Frontrunner to Sign Framber Valdez, Impacting Rotation Battle

The Baltimore Orioles are reportedly the frontrunner to sign 32-year-old lefty Framber Valdez, formerly of the Houston Astros. His acquisition would significantly bolster the Orioles' rotation, likely placing him among the top three starters alongside Kyle Bradish and Trevor Rogers. This move is expected to intensify the competition for the fifth rotation spot, with Dean Kremer, Zach Eflin, Cade Povich, and Tyler Wells vying for the role.
