The Orioles are looking to add upwards of three starters this offseason and have recently met with free-agent right-hander Andrew Cashner, according to a report from MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal.
Cashner, 31, had a nice bounce-back season with the Rangers, going 11-11 with a 3.40 ERA over 166 2/3 innings. However, he had a career-worst 4.64 K/9 and benefited from a .266 BABIP, which was the second-lowest mark among qualified American League starters.
Cashner will likely command a multiyear contract after settling for a one-year, $10 million contract last offseason to re-establish his value.
Baltimore is returning only Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy to its rotation after the departures of Chris Tillman, Wade Miley and Ubaldo Jimenez. Their internal options include Gabriel Ynoa, Alec Asher and Miguel Castro, but the team would like to make additions from outside the organization.
