We saw an example of last week when the\u00a0Orioles shipped Bryan Baker to the Rays, and that move will likely be the first of many deals before August.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The deadline is also a reminder that the time is dwindling for current players on the roster. Sure, the common trade targets already know that, but there are several players who are facing their last chance in Baltimore.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Orioles players who may not survive the second-half roster shakeup<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><strong>Ram\u00f3n Urias<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">It&#8217;s been an underwhelming 2025 season for Urias. After hitting 11 home runs with a 114 wRC+ last season, Urias&#8217; average has dipped to .241 this season with 6 home runs and a wRC+ of 82.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">He likely is in his final stretch of games with the Orioles, as contenders will value his versatility. If he finds some offensive success coming out of the All-Star break, there&#8217;s a chance he sticks around, considering he is under control for next season, but he likely is in his final days with the team.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><strong>Jacob Stallings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The expectation remains that Adley Rutschman, despite the trajectory of the Orioles&#8217; season, will return this season\u00a0from the oblique strain he suffered in June. Once he does, the Jacob Stallings experiment will come to an end. Stallings&#8217; wRC+ of 1 is all you need to know about his chance with the Orioles running out.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><strong>Luis V\u00e1zquez<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">When V\u00e1zquez was making his way through the Chicago Cubs&#8217; system, there was little doubt that he would be a sure-handed fielder, but the question was how his offense would translate. V\u00e1zquez has 1 hit in 13 plate appearances with the Orioles this season, and add the 2 hits in 14 plate appearances with the Cubs last season, and it seems like the bat will prevent him from being a competent bench piece.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><strong>Heston Kjerstad<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Offensive consistency remains the biggest thing that is preventing Kjerstad from having a role on the Orioles&#8217; Major League roster. Hitting .192 through 167 plate appearances at the Major League level this season, the former first-round pick needs a change-of-scenery. His opportunity with the Orioles feels all but over.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time is running out for these Orioles after the break Miami Marlins v Baltimore Orioles | Mitchell Layton\/GettyImages Coming out of the All-Star break, the expectation is&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":69689,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69688","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 -
