The Baltimore Orioles have made a strategic move by re-signing right-hander Zach Eflin to a one-year, $10 million contract. This decision comes as the team looks to bolster its roster following a disappointing 2025 season. Eflin, who was part of an injury-plagued rotation, is expected to slide into the back end of Baltimore's rotation in 2026. With a healthy Trevor Rogers, Kyle Bradish, and Shane Baz, the Orioles are aiming to improve their rotation, which ranked 24th in the majors in ERA last season. Eflin's deal includes a mutual option for the 2027 season and a $500,000 bonus if he is traded. This move is one of three priorities for Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias this winter, along with adding a closer and right-handed power. The Orioles have already made significant moves by signing Ryan Helsley, trading for Grayson Rodriguez, and signing Pete Alonso. But here's where it gets controversial... Eflin's production in 2025 was a far cry from his performance in 2024, raising questions about the team's decision to re-sign him. What do you think?
