It was a busy July for the Baltimore Orioles, though, not in the way they would have envisioned at the start of the season. The overall impression is that\u00a0general manager Mike Elias\u00a0did well during the draft, but his deadline strategy was questionable at best.<\/p>\n<p>Along those lines, in\u00a0ranking the farm system of every Major League team, the Orioles landed in the middle of the pack at No. 15, the same place they were at the start of the season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><em>&#8220;The Orioles are holding serve here. They were VERY busy at the Deadline as sellers of big league talent with the season in Baltimore not going as planned. So while Basallo is their lone Top 100 representative, it\u2019s a deeper system than it\u2019s been in a while. They brought in 15 total prospects via trade, six who are on the new Top 30.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Prospect rankings reveal huge start for Orioles\u2019 latest draft class<\/h2>\n<p>While it was an underwhelming ranking for the Orioles, there is some hope when you look at where their draft class has\u00a0landed throughout their top 30 list. Four of the Orioles&#8217; 2025 draft picks&#8211;Ike Irish, Wehiwa Aloy, Slater de Brun, and Caden Bodine&#8211;find themselves within the top 10. Beyond those four, Joseph Dzierwa, Colin Yeaman, and JT Quinn are scattered throughout the top 30 list.<\/p>\n<p>Now, to be clear, this can&#8217;t be something that Elias can point to as a reason to keep his job. Especially when you consider that for most of these prospects, 2028 is the earliest in which they may arrive to the Major League level. That timeline is the primary reason why there is some\u00a0concern over the prospects the Orioles targeted at the deadline.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Nevertheless, this year&#8217;s draft class is something Orioles fans can point to as something that went right, but there remain several issues with this front office moving forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orioles\u2019 latest draft haul already climbing prospect rankings fast 2025 Baltimore Orioles | Peyton Stoike\/Baltimore Orioles\/GettyImages With the 2025 MLB Draft and July 31 trade deadline in&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":78718,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78717","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 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Breaking!!
