Orioles rumors: Will Zach Eflin's IL trip impact trade deadline?
The post Orioles rumors: Will Zach Eflin's IL trip impact trade deadline? appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Baltimore Orioles have been one of Major League Baseball's most disappointing teams in 2025. With the MLB trade deadline looming, veterans across the roster could be moved. Tony Mansolino took over earlier this season as manager, and his lineup could look different in 24 hours. Along with Ryan O'Hearn, starting pitcher Zach Eflin is still a good candidate to be traded. Eflin landed on the injured list because of discomfort in his lower back. However, Baltimore's ace has remained near the top of the list of Orioles available at the deadline. He might not have as big a return as O'Hearn will in a trade, but contenders around the league are looking for starting pitching down the stretch of the season. According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Eflin's trip to the IL will not affect his trade status. If teams want to trade for him, Baltimore is willing to listen to offers. The Orioles' season is all but over, so selling pieces at the deadline is a no-brainer. Mansolino has not spoken much about the trade deadline, but he has his work cut out for him in August and September. Ahead of the trade deadline on July 31, Eflin was one of the top 50 players available, according to ESPN. The 31-year-old has a 6-5 record to go with a 5.93 ERA in 14 starts this season. He is no longer the pitcher that dominated with the Tampa Bay Rays back in 2023. However, he still has enough in the tank to contribute to a contender. When the Orioles added Eflin in 2024, they thought of him as a key piece on their path to contention. A year later, experts around the league are leaning towards a trade before 6pm EST on July 31. He and O'Hearn are the unfortunate casualty of what has been a disastrous year in Baltimore. An Eflin deal netting the Orioles a young prospect that can figure into the Orioles' plans in 2026 is the plan. He is good enough for Baltimore to drive his price up as teams submit offers for him. Luckily for them, his trip to the IL does not affect their trade deadline plans.

Orioles' Cedric Mullins shows trade value with one of best catches of season
The post Orioles' Cedric Mullins shows trade value with one of best catches of season appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Baltimore Orioles enter the Major League Baseball trade deadline under a magnifying glass. Experts around the league think that the Orioles will sell on players like Cedric Mullins. However, the veteran outfielder bailed Baltimore reliever Grant Wolfram out against the Toronto Blue Jays. He added another home run robbery to his highlight reel, stealing on from Ali Sanchez. Sanchez jumped on a hung curveball from Wolfram in the sixth inning. The Blue Jays catcher crushed the pitch to deep center field. Mullins ranged back and climbed the wall, making the catch. The home crowd applauded his effort as he jogged back to the Orioles' dugout. Baltimore ended up losing the game 9-8, but the play is one of the best grabs of the 2025 regular season. Mullins has made a career out of his defensive talent in center field. The 30-year-old is not the best offensive player the Orioles have on their roster, but his defense has kept him on the team for the last eight seasons. Those kind of plays are why Baltimore has received calls from other teams about him before the MLB trade deadline. Even after Wednesday's loss, the Orioles are 6-4 over their last ten games. Unfortunately, they still trail the Blue Jays by more than ten games in the American League East. At this point, their best chance at the postseason is as an AL wild card. However, they need to make up more than five games to fight for one of the three open spots. The Orioles have not made any major moves before the July 31 deadline. However, experts around the league think that big trades are in the works. Baltimore has veterans that can help contenders compete for a title this season. For now, Mullins' robbery of Sanchez's home run received praise from the Orioles' faithful. He might have played his last game with Baltimore this season. If so, Mullins ended his Orioles career with a bang. Related: 1 last-minute trade Orioles must complete before 2025 deadline Related: Inexplicit Zach Eflin called ball will have fans livid
