Anthony Santander has been on the lips of trade gossipers everywhere. If the Baltimore Orioles did trade him, they only have a few suitable options.

Don’t get me wrong, the Baltimore Orioles could do well to keep Santander, but there are a lot of things pointing to them looking to ship him off. Not to get too “tin hat like,” but let’s dig into some reasons that the O’s have shown that a move might not be far off.

For starters, the Baltimore Orioles have a lot of depth coming up threw the Minor League system. With the likes of Yusniel Diaz, Kyle Stowers, Colton Cowser, Robert Neustrom, and others, there will eventually be a blockage somewhere in the line.

Have you noticed anything different about the current O’s rotation in the outfield? We’ve seen Austin Hays play out in RF a lot more, and they can afford it with how McKenna is currently performing. Not that he is comparable to Tony Taters; only saying that there have been some exciting rotations happening in the green grass.

As of late, Anthony Santander has also been on the opposite side of production as the Baltimore Orioles have needed to lean on other players in critical moments. This is not to say that he is performing terribly; 15 home runs and 40 RBIs would tell us differently, but in critical moments, he hasn’t been as key as the O’s have maybe needed him to be.
