The Orioles face an interesting dilemma with closer Zach Britton this offseason. In 2017, the 29-year-old left-hander made $11.4 million. In his final year of club control, Britton could command a salary of $14 million-$15 million, and that may be too rich for the Orioles.
The team listened to offers for Britton ahead of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, and as a highly marketable piece, it may listen again.
The Orioles need to bolster their starting pitching, and Britton could potentially bring them starters -- assuming his market value is high.
