After falling apart in the second half of last season, the Orioles need to bite the bullet and finally pull off some trades this offseason.
Williams was the third overall player in the ranking and second-best pitcher behind Garrett Crochet of the"Milwaukee GM Matt Arnold did not mince words in October when he said the Brewers will 'stay open-minded' about trading the closer because they are in the 'smallest market in the league.' Williams is a year away from free agency," said Axisa.last offseason, and they traded Josh Hader a year-and-a-half prior to free agency.
In the 22 games that he did play in, he posted an elite 1.25 ERA with a 0.969 WHIP and 15.8 K/9. He's only finished two years of his career with a ERA of 2.50 or more, sustaining his dominance for a while now. Adding a player of Williams' ability to the bullpen when they should already be getting Felix Bautista back from injury may seem like overkill, but the Orioles should have learned not to take anything for granted last offseason.
