Part 2/12:

Rosenthal highlights Michael King, the talented right-handed pitcher, who appears to be nearing a decision. According to the Boston Globe's Pete Abraham, King is down to three teams: the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the Orioles—all in the American League East. As an East Coast native—having played high school in Rhode Island and college at Boston College—King’s preferences make sense, and the Orioles may face stiff competition from the Yankees and Red Sox. Rosenthal suggests that for the Orioles to land King, they might need to outbid their rivals, given King's East Coast ties and demand.
