Every indication is that the Baltimore Orioles,\u00a0despite turning the corner from their atrocious start\u00a0to the season, will be sellers ahead of the MLB trade deadline at the end of the month.<\/p>\n
While the idea of the\u00a0Orioles completing a fire sale\u00a0at the deadline hasn’t entirely been ruled out, it feels like a safe assumption that Ryan O’Hearn will be on the move.<\/p>\n
A free agent after the season, it would be an egregious offense by the Orioles’ front office did not cash in on O’Hearn’s breakout season by moving him at the deadline. With 11 home runs and 137 wRC+, O’Hearn would be a great fit for any team in the market for a first baseman who can provide some pop.<\/p>\n
That was the connection ESPN’s Jeff Passan made during his latest drop of trade deadline intel. While labeling a fit for each contending team,\u00a0Passan makes the suggestion\u00a0that the Orioles should trade O’Hearn to the Milwaukee Brewers.<\/p>\n
“They could easily move a starting pitcher and tap into their deep prospect well for O’Hearn. The add-and-subtract maneuver is risky, sure, but the Brewers have steeled themselves to weather it.”<\/em><\/p>\nTrading Ryan O\u2019Hearn to the Brewers? Jeff Passan says don\u2019t rule it out<\/h2>\n
In the aftermath of losing\u00a0Rhys Hoskins for the next several weeks, it would seem that the Brewers could be in the market for a first baseman.<\/p>\n
Targeting O’Hearn and offering up a Major League-ready starting pitcher would see the Brewers follow a blueprint they already laid this offseason. Last month, the Brewers shipped veteran starting pitcher Aaron Civale to the Chicago White Sox for Andrew Vaughn. Vaugn has been the next man up for the Brewers in the aftermath of Hoskins’ injury.<\/p>\n
It would be a similar type of deal for the Orioles, though, given O’Hearn’s established production this year, they can likely net an organizational top 20 prospect in addition to a starting pitcher from the Brewers.<\/p>\n
Trading O’Hearn, along with\u00a0moving Cedric Mullins\u00a0for the same reasons, should be the goal for the Orioles’ front office this deadline season.<\/p>\n
The Orioles still have a core that can contend as soon as next season, but reconstructing the pieces around them is desperately needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
