With their season careening into a dark place, speculation has grown that the club could be sellers at the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Zach Eflin is likely to be a sought-after talent in July. But according to MLB Network insider Mark Feinsand, their top pitcher so far this season could also be up for grabs.<\/p>\n<p>And he just so happens to be their biggest offseason signing.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cEflin isn\u2019t the only starter that could help a contender. Tomoyuki Sugano has been one of the few positives on the Orioles\u2019 pitching staff this season. As the 35-year-old is 4-3 with a 3.07 ERA in his first 10 big league starts,\u201d Feinsand wrote. \u201cHe\u2019s on a one-year, $13 million deal. And will be a free agent at the end of the season, so Baltimore could cash him in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the offseason, the Orioles lost All-Stars Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander in MLB free agency. They did not make many notable additions this offseason. However, signing the Japanese import did receive praise in baseball circles.<\/p>\n<p>The former Yomiuri Giants star currently leads Baltimore in quality starts (5), wins (4), innings (58.2) WAR (1.3) and ERA among their starters (3.07).<\/p>\n<p>However, he is 35 years old.<\/p>\n<p>While the O\u2019s would probably prefer not to move him and persuade him to return next season, moving him with his value high during a bad season for the team makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite being one of their top free agent additions this offseason, a notable MLB insider believes the Baltimore Orioles will look to move ace Tomoyuki Sugano before&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":57610,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>MLB rumors: Baltimore Orioles could already move on from major free agent addition this summer?
