The Orioles have two rental bats&#8211;Ryan O&#8217;Hearn\u00a0and Cedric Mullins&#8211;who figure to be moved, but Rosenthal notes that two pitchers are gaining attention.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><em>&#8220;Baltimore Orioles right-hander Charlie Morton and left-hander Trevor Rogers are examples of how quickly a player\u2019s trajectory \u2013 and trade value \u2013 might change.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Since May 14, Morton has been one of the best pitchers in the American League. In 8 starts, 49 2\/3 innings pitched, since then, Morton has an ERA of 2.72 while striking out over 27 percent of the hitters he has faced.<\/p>\n<p>A free agent after the season, there is going to be interest in Morton at the deadline, considering the limited number of defined sellers and the overall need for pitching across the contenders. Interestingly enough, Rosenthal has been pushing the\u00a0connection of Morton to the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p>We saw with the trade of\u00a0Bryan Baker to the Tampa Bay Rays\u00a0last week that the Orioles aren&#8217;t afraid of doing business with division rivals ahead of the deadline. Morton would help stabilize the middle of the Red Sox&#8217;s rotation.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Trade momentum building fast around Charlie Moron and Trevor Rogers<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Rosenthal also mentions that interest is also building in Trevor Rogers. Acquired by the Orioles at the trade deadline last season in a deal with the Miami Marlins, Rogers has been excellent this season with an ERA of 1.53 through 6 starts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">A knee injury delayed Rogers&#8217; start to the season, but the success he has had upon his return will have interested teams calling the Orioles. Rogers has another season of control following 2025.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Players like Morton and Rogers are the reason why the deadline can be an impactful moment for the Orioles moving forward. With the right deals and getting the right talent back, the Orioles can quickly return to contention in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trade momentum building fast around these two names New York Mets v Baltimore Orioles &#8211;
