MLB Insider Links Astros To Trade For $8 Million Slugger At Deadline
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Houston Astros have quietly placed themselves at the top of the league after losing Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman in the offseason. The team has also been missing Yordan Alvarez for a good chunk of the year. It doesn't seem like Houston's success is sustainable with its current roster. The front office is going to need to make a big trade or two in the coming days in order to secure the division down the stretch. FanSided's MLB insider Robert Murray recently suggested the Astros would look to add offense at the trade deadline and linked them to a trade for Baltimore Orioles slugger Ryan O'Hearn. CLEVELAND, OHIO - JULY 23: Ryan O'Hearn #32 of the Baltimore Orioles hits an RBI sacrifice fly ball during the fourth inning against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on July 23, 2025 in Cleveland,... CLEVELAND, OHIO - JULY 23: Ryan O'Hearn #32 of the Baltimore Orioles hits an RBI sacrifice fly ball during the fourth inning against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on July 23, 2025 in Cleveland, Ohio. More"The Houston Astros are prioritizing offense at the trade deadline, and one fit is Baltimore Orioles All-Star slugger Ryan O'Hearn," Murray wrote. "O'Hearn, 31, is having the best season of his career ahead of free agency, hitting .281/.375/.452 with 12 home runs and 37 RBI. After (Josh) Naylor was traded to the Mariners, O'Hearn is the best remaining first baseman on the market. He also has the ability to play the outfield, appearing in 16 games in right field this season for Baltimore." O'Hearn would be the perfect addition for the Astros. He can slot in at first base alongside Christian Walker in order to give the veteran some time off the field. O'Hearn can also play the outfield when Alvarez returns, but for the time being, he would be the perfect designated hitter in Houston. Adding him shouldn't cost the Astros an arm and a leg either. They should be able to part ways with a mid-level prospect or two in order to acquire him, though there's bound to be some competition to add the slugger. Either way, Houston is the dream landing spot for O'Hearn this year. More MLB: Mets Reunion? Why Latest Trade Rumors Make Perfect Sense For New York

Orioles All-Star Tagged As Best First Baseman On Market By MLB Insider
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Baltimore Orioles have fallen off from their playoff-clinching performance of last season, and now they are focusing on trading expiring contracts to retool for a run at October next year. But as the Orioles' season crumbles below them, first baseman Ryan O'Hearn has put together an All-Star campaign, resurging his career and, according to Mark Feinsand, is the best first baseman on the trade market. ATLANTA, GA - JULY 15: Ryan O'Hearn #32 of the Baltimore Orioles bats during the MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park on July 15, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. ATLANTA, GA - JULY 15: Ryan O'Hearn #32 of the Baltimore Orioles bats during the MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park on July 15, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. Photo by Matthew Grimes Jr./O'Hearn, who is a free agent at the end of the season, revitalized his career in Baltimore after a disastrous tenure with the Kansas City Royals. He is now expected to be one of the top options on the trade block next week. O'Hearn entered Wednesday with 12 home runs and a .280 batting average and a .828 OPS. The market is thin in run-producing bats, and O'Hearn not only fills that need but is versatile enough to play the corner outfield spots as well. O'Hearn comes with a low risk due to his impending free agency, potentially causing his price to drop a slight amount. The Orioles are going to trade him away with the focus on building up their roster, and teams should be waiting on the phone lines to grab O'Hearn for the final two months. With the market heating up, the Orioles will be very active with all of their expiring contracts, but the most value is coming from making a deal to send O'Hearn to a contender. O'Hearn will be sought after and could very easily be the first domino to fall in the left-handed hitting market. More MLB: Royals Reportedly Willing To Trade, Looking To Compete Next Year

Astros Landing $8 Million Slugger Would Boost Lineup Ahead Of Trade Deadline
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. FanSided's Zachary Rotman recently put together a hypothetical trade idea that would send Baltimore Orioles slugger Ryan O'Hearn to the Houston Astros in exchange for prospects A.J. Blubaugh and Parker Smith. "In this deal, the Astros would acquire O'Hearn, a perfect fit for their lineup. In the short term, Houston can use him primarily as a DH, as Yordan Alvarez is still on the Injured List," Rotman wrote. "When Alvarez is healthy, O'Hearn can play in left field, with Walker etched in as the first baseman. O'Hearn won't provide stellar defense by any means, but he was an All-Star this season because of his bat, and his left-handed swing can add some much-needed balance to a right-handed heavy lineup." BALTIMORE, MD - JUNE 29: Ryan O'Hearn #32 of the Baltimore Orioles takes a swing during a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on June 29, 2025 in... BALTIMORE, MD - JUNE 29: Ryan O'Hearn #32 of the Baltimore Orioles takes a swing during a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on June 29, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland. MoreBut would this trade idea make sense for both sides? For the Astros, it would provide them with a versatile defender who would upgrade their lineup in a big way. O'Hearn, whether it be at first base, designated hitter, or in the outfield, would be an everyday player for the Astros. Houston would use him in a variety of ways as it looks to make a World Series push this season. Pitching prospects are the biggest thing the Orioles need right now. Blubaugh is incredibly talented and could be ready to pitch in Baltimore as early as this season. The Orioles are likely looking to build their pitching rotation from the ground up, so a deal to acquire two talented young pitchers would be ideal. This could be a slight overpay from the Astros, as it likely wouldn't cost a prospect as talented as Blubaugh to land O'Hearn, but the fit and groundwork make a lot of sense.
