Teams are spending big money on relievers, but given the Orioles' model, don't expect them to sink significant payroll into the bullpen.

The Orioles' offseason to-do list looked dramatically different a week ago.

As the nonwaiver trade deadline approaches Thursday at 4 p.m., the Orioles are focused on acquiring a mid-level starter and a left-handed reliever, as well as a potential upgrade offensively at either second base or catcher.
