Orioles, Mariners, D-backs Active at Trade Deadline

As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Seattle Mariners are reportedly interested in reacquiring Eugenio Suarez and targeting Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, who may be available as the D-backs hover around .500. The Baltimore Orioles, last in the AL East, are expected to be sellers, with veterans like Ryan O’Hearn and pitcher Zach Eflin drawing interest from teams such as the Mariners, Giants, and Blue Jays. Orioles All-Star closer Felix Bautista, under team control through 2027, may receive significant trade offers, particularly from the Phillies. The Washington Nationals are also positioned to sell, with closer Kyle Finnegan and infielder Nathaniel Lowe among their trade assets. These possible moves could significantly reshape playoff races as contenders seek roster upgrades. The deadline activity underscores a broader trend of struggling teams trading veterans for prospects.
