Orioles rumors: Logan Gillaspie’s production won’t cut it out of the Baltimore bullpen

As many baseball fans know and understand, bullpen talent and depth is crucial to a successful playoff run. For the Baltimore Orioles, they already have one of the most talented bullpens in the MLB, only adding more talent recently with the acquisition of Shintaro Fujinami. But the second piece of the puzzle there is depth, and every contending could use an upgrade there.

But with the Orioles likely to add depth via a trade, they’re going to have to lose pieces that are currently on the roster and the first to go will likely be Logan Gillaspie. The right-handed reliever will end up spending the rest of the season and the postseason in Triple-A, as he does still have options remaining. So far in 2023, he’s logged nine innings allowing 14 hits and five walks.

This is no knock on Gillaspie as he still has a ton of time and team control in order to have a long and successful career within the Baltimore organization, but with so many bullpen options available at the deadline, the Orioles will continue to upgrade their bullpen for the 2023 season and that leaves the young righty, Logan Gillaspie off the postseason roster.
