Tony, Nice writeup on McDermott. Both on his stuff and his control. I still think he begins the season at AAA working on his control. With Eflin, GRod, Kremer, Suarez and Povich ahead of him in the rotation and Rogers as a wildcard. Elias is committed to adding a starter this off season. There is just no room in the rotation for McDermott to begin the season.
Your suggestion to move him to the pen is a valid one but again there is not a lot of room there if Elias additions push Suarez to the pen or Povich to the minors.
With as many injuries as happen to pitchers during the season McDermott should see plenty of time in the majors in 2025 IMO. His options are valuable to the O's if he is not traded this off season.
