TheĀ Baltimore OriolesĀ have dropped a few games recently, going 4-6 over their last 10 games.
Considering the past year and a half of production, going 4-6 is now viewed as a disappointment for this team.
Only two games back in the American League East and holding a comfortable lead for a Wild Card spot, the Orioles are in as good of a position as any team in baseball heading into July.
This trade deadline offers some questions for the front office. Will they finally capitalize on their young assets?
Does the front office want to continue building their farm system despite having many players with no place to play?
They’re all valid questions, but at some point over the next few seasons, Baltimore has to make a decision.
With a chance to win a World Series this year, going all out appears to be the right thing to do.
Derailed by injuries on the mound, the expectation is for them to land a few starting pitchers in the next month.
Perhaps some starters can step up, but trusting unproven arms typically doesn’t end well.
There are also other areas they can improve in, including center field.
Cedric Mullins hasĀ struggledĀ and hasn’t been the same player since the 2021 season.
Once a big piece of this organizations future, they could look to replace the left-hander.
Mike Petriello of MLB.comĀ listed 10 teams that could targetĀ Luis Robert Jr., including the Orioles. His reasoning for trading for Robert is due to Mullins’ below-average play.
