With the MLB trade deadline quickly approaching, the divide between buyers and sellers is becoming clearer. In this column, I’ll look at the Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates (potential sellers), their key players who could be moved, and interesting in-house pieces who could fill gaps or take on a higher role after the trade deadline.

Orioles projected to trade Ryan O’Hearn to Mariners at MLB deadline, acquiring top prospects to accelerate their rebuilding process.

The Baltimore Orioles are in a tough spot with the trade deadline on July 31. The team has severely underperformed, but after firing manager Brandon Hyde, the club is 25-21. Overall, the Orioles sport a 40-49 record and sit dead-last in the American League East and seven-and-a-half games back from the third AL Wild Card spot.
