5 players who could be available if the Baltimore Orioles decide to sell

You know the rumors, but if the Baltimore Orioles are to be authentic sellers, there will always be some names that stay quiet or that you don’t want to see happen. If selling is the name of the game this season, that will undoubtedly be the case.

Jordan Lyles, SP

Teams of interest: Twins, Brewers, NYM

Jordan “innings-eater” Lyles can add depth to any pitching rotation, and if the Baltimore Orioles are sellers, look for clubs to eat up this opportunity. Do you see what I did there? Anyway, he does what he does, and that is going past the 5th inning. He is a veteran leader, and he won’t cost teams much. All in all, if the O’s sell, he should be getting a lot of phone calls.

5 players who could be available if the Baltimore Orioles decide to sell

Jorge Lopez, CP

Teams of interest: Mariners, Cubs, ???

Besides a rough few outings recently, Jorge Lopez has been one of the best closers in the league. With teams like the Cubs and Mariners openly searching for any swinging reliever out there, expect teams to come-a-calling soon. It’s unlikely that he moves, but don’t be shocked if things start going south for the O’s before the trade deadline.

Cedric Mullins, CF

Teams of interest: Astros, Brewers, Marlins, ???

If Mullins and Mancini go, then they leave the M&M duo behind. This is more of a wildcard play, but as his bat starts to heat up, look for more clubs to pounce on that offensive output. Out of all of these options, expect this one to be on the low end of being probable, but much like Lopez, if things look like another year until the rebuild, it could happen for the right price.

Well, there you have it, the five possible trades that could come if the Baltimore Orioles decide to become sellers during this trade window. However, one point of contention for you all that made it this far; the O’s have already won 40 games, they seem closer to .500 ball than a selling club, but only time will tell which option takes place.
