Baltimore Orioles ‘likely' to sell at the 2025 MLB trade deadline
According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman on Bleacher Report, the Orioles are 'likely' to sell at the 2025 MLB trade deadline. Ryan O'Hearn, Cedric Mullins, Zach Eflin, Tomoyuki Sugano, Charlie Morton, Trevor Rogers, Felix Bautista, and several more relievers will likely be in trade discussions over the next two weeks. It doesn't mean Baltimore plans on trading everyone, but some players aren't likely to stay.
Specifically, O'Hearn could net a solid trade package after starting the 2025 All-Star Game,. The 31-year-old player is scheduled to become a free agent in the winter, so it would make sense to acquire an asset before he leaves. Eflin, Sugano, and Morton are the most realistic pitchers to be moved, as all will become free agents after the World Series, too.
Baltimore wants to compete in 2026, so this won't be an all-out fire sale at the MLB trade deadline. However, the players set to become free agents should be gone unless the team has plans for them beyond 2025. The Orioles figure to be the most active seller over the next two weeks, and several players could be on the way out soon.Related Headlines

The Kansas City Royals and pitcher Seth Lugo agree to 2-year extension, AP source says
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals and right-hander Seth Lugo have agreed to a two-year extension that includes a vesting option for the 2028 season, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Sunday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal, which presumably takes one of the most talked-about names on the trade market off the table ahead of this week's deadline, had not been officially announced. The 35-year-old Lugo made his first All-Star Game and won his first Gold Glove last season, when he went 16-9 with a 3.00 ERA in the first year of a two-year, $30 million deal that included a player option for next season. Lugo has followed that up with an even better start to this season, going 7-5 with a 2.95 ERA through 19 outings for Kansas City. Rumors surfaced of several contenders interested in trading for Lugo ahead of Thursday's deadline, and the fact that the Royals have been hanging on the fringe of contention themselves left many wondering whether they would be buyers or sellers. It appears that they are going to make a push for a second consecutive playoff appearance. The Royals acquired outfielder Randal Grichuk from the Diamondbacks for reliever Andrew Hoffmann late Saturday, shoring up a weakness in the lineup by adding a right-handed bat. Now, they have indicated that Lugo remains big a part of their future with his extension — an especially timely one given it came the same day that All-Star pitcher Kris Bubic went on the injured list. Kansas City also is missing starters Cole Ragans and Michael Lorenzen due to injuries. Both are expected back at some point in August, and the Royals are hopeful that their return to the rotation will propel them down the stretch run. After beating the Guardians on Sunday, the Royals were four games back of the final American League wild-card spot. ___ AP MLB: Dave Skretta, The Associated Press
