Three Franchise-Altering Orioles Trades That Would Break the Internet
The Baltimore Orioles could shake up baseball if they complete one of these major trades this offseason. But how realistic are these moves?
New Manager and Front Office Focus
With Craig Albernaz now managing, the Orioles’ front office is turning its attention to reshaping the roster. Despite some high-potential players, last season’s injuries and regression mean relying on a natural rebound isn’t enough.
Team Needs and Trade Speculation
The Orioles clearly have pitching gaps to fill and are rumored to be seeking a powerful hitter, ideally a center fielder. Free agency is unlikely to be the main route for upgrades, as heavy spending hasn’t been typical for Baltimore lately.
Potential Blockbuster Trade
A major trade headline could define the offseason. It's important to note these are not trade rumors but speculative scenarios. Some players might be available, while others may not be on the market yet represent the scale of a transformational deal.
Mike Trout’s Status
"Mike Trout easily falls under the category of a player who may not even be on the trade block this offseason. That said, the Los Angeles Angels have dealt with speculation that they may trade Trout for the last few years."
Summary
The Orioles may reshape their future through bold trades, aiming to address pitching and add impact hitting, although obstacles remain in making these blockbuster deals.
