But more likely is that the bulk of what Baltimore does at the deadline involves shedding expiring contracts as the team eyes competing again in 2026.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">That leaves Ryan O\u2019Hearn as perhaps the Orioles\u2019 best trade chip. O\u2019Hearn, 31, was an All-Star this season and is hitting .286\/.382\/.458 with an .840 OPS, 11 home runs and 34 RBI. He would bolster any team in need of an upgrade offensively, and there will be no shortage of teams to express interest in the coming days and weeks. Plus, as a pending free agent, Baltimore can get something in return now that will help next season without impacting their future at all.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">With that in mind, here are four teams that make sense for O\u2019Hearn.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">1. Milwaukee Brewers<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Brewers could use O\u2019Hearn at first base until Rhys Hoskins returns off the Injured List, or they could put him in the outfield or even at designated hitter. I firmly expect Milwaukee to be in the market for another bat and O\u2019Hearn makes all the sense in the world. If the Brewers get the right bat(s), a deep postseason run \u2013 or even a trip to the World Series \u2013 feels possible.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">2. Houston Astros<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Somehow, even after losing Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman this offseason, the\u00a0Houston Astros\u00a0are 56-40 and in first place in the American League West. O\u2019Hearn would be a fit in the outfield in Houston and add another solid bat to the lineup while not sacrificing the farm system to do so. O\u2019Hearn is also a fit for the\u00a0Seattle Mariners, the Astros\u2019 biggest competition in the division.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">3. San Diego Padres<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">It wouldn\u2019t be the trade deadline unless the Padres are connected to the biggest bats on the market. I would firmly expect A.J. Preller to make a phone call here and for just about any other bat that can bolster the lineup, especially given San Diego&#8217;s need for lefty power. It\u2019s Preller season, after all.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">4. Boston Red Sox<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Orioles have already made one intra-division trade. Why not another? The\u00a0Red Sox\u00a0are in position to buy at the deadline and with the right series of moves, could be a World Series contender even after trading Rafael Devers. O\u2019Hearn would give them certainty throughout the season at first base and bolster the lineup. It\u2019s a move that makes plenty of sense, with Josh Naylor of the\u00a0Arizona Diamondbacks\u00a0looming as another potential fit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Baltimore looking to sell, O&#8217;Hearn figures to be on the move in the next couple of weeks.
