The O&#8217;s sold off a litany of players, almost all of whom were unlikely to have any sort of long-term future in Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Orioles found numerous trade partners for the likes of Seranthony Dominguez (Toronto Blue Jays), Ramon Ur\u00edas (Houston Astros), as well as Cedric Mullins and Gregory Soto (New York Mets).<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Baltimore&#8217;s biggest trade, however, was on deadline day when the Orioles shipped both designated hitter Ryan O&#8217;Hearn and outfielder Ramon Laureano to the San Diego Padres in exchange for multiple prospects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">While the O&#8217;s certainly added to their coffers at the deadline, that deal with the Friars may have effectively taken them out of the running for a potential Adley Rutschman trade this offseason.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Orioles deadline deal with the Padres may have just cost them Adley Rutschman\u2019s top suitor<\/h2>\n<p>The Rutschman trade rumors have been growing ever since the Orioles landed two top catching prospects during the 2025 MLB Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Those rumors only got louder last week after\u00a0the O&#8217;s locked up Rutschman&#8217;s heir apparent, Samuel Basallo, to an eight-year contract extension.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week,\u00a0one prominent MLB insider suggested that the O&#8217;s backstop\u00a0will be the most sought-after name available in a trade this offseason. Though Rutschman is still under team control for two more seasons, this may be his final season in Charm City.<\/p>\n<p>But after\u00a0San Diego effectively unloaded their entire farm system at the deadline, it&#8217;s safe to assume that\u00a0AJ Preller and the Padres&#8217; front office\u00a0won&#8217;t have the type of top-tier prospects that Baltimore will be seeking if they do indeed wish to trade Rutschman this offseason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Though the Padres did solidify the catching position with the addition of Freddy Fermin at the deadline, San Diego&#8217;s top prospect Ethan Salas has endured a trying season in the minor leagues, and one has to wonder if he&#8217;ll ever reach the sky-high potential so many talent evaluators have thrust upon him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Though the Padres may no longer be a viable option, there are still numerous organizations who&#8217;d be interested in Rutschman is the Orioles make him available this winter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orioles deadline fire sale may have just cost them Adley Rutschman\u2019s top suitor Orioles fire sale could have just cost them Adley Rutschman\u2019s best fit Baltimore Orioles&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":84662,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84650","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 -
