In fact, Bautista boasted a stunning 0.82 ERA over 11 innings pitched in June.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore has been linked to possibly trading Zach Eflin, Tomoyuki Sugano, Charlie Morton, and other pitchers over the last few weeks, but parting ways with its star closer would make little sense.<\/p>\n<p>Orioles general manager Mike Elias hopes to compete in 2026, and Bautista is under contract through the 2027 season.<\/p>\n<p>If the Orioles were to trade Bautista at the MLB trade deadline, the return would likely be massive. However, there are no plans for Baltimore to enter a rebuild, and keeping Bautista would be the best course of action in securing a strong back-end of its bullpen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Baltimore Orioles sit 7.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot, and with the MLB trade deadline coming soon, the future of Felix Bautista&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":68900,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68899","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 -
