The Baltimore Orioles are being urged to consider signing San Diego Padres left-hander Adrián Morejón and converting him into a starting pitcher, according to a recent analysis from SB Nation.
Morejón, 25, appeared in Game 1 of the 2026 National League Division Series for the Padres against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on October 3. The reliever has spent his career primarily in a bullpen role but possesses a repertoire that some evaluators believe could translate to a starting assignment.
The Orioles, who have sought to bolster their rotation depth, could view Morejón as a low-risk, high-upside addition if he becomes available via free agency or trade. Baltimore's front office has previously shown willingness to experiment with pitcher usage patterns.
No official negotiations have been reported, and Morejón remains under team control with the Padres. The suggestion remains speculative as the 2026-27 offseason approaches.
