“At the Crossroads: The Pivotal Trade Deadline Decisions for the Orioles and Nationals”

by americanosportscom
0 comments

Two weeks ​ago, the Washington ⁤Nationals initiated the flurry of trades leading ‌up to⁢ the⁤ MLB deadline by trading reliever Hunter Harvey, a former prospect for the Baltimore Orioles, ⁣to the Kansas City Royals‌ in exchange ⁤for a prospect and a draft ‍pick. The fact that such trades ​commenced with this particular number seemed appropriate: The Orioles ‍and Nationals have seldom faced ​a deadline so crucial to ‍their‍ futures.

The significance⁤ of‍ this year’s deadline is clear for the Orioles, ⁣even ​to those who may not be deeply familiar⁣ with ⁣their progression toward becoming ‍contenders. A historic influx of prospects is ⁤poised for advancement while a ⁢group of cherished veterans‌ stands in their way. Though ⁤these veterans come at a higher​ cost,‍ they ​are performing⁣ well enough that allowing any to ‌reach‌ free agency ⁢without gaining something in⁣ return would feel⁣ like an oversight. Although ⁢these​ prospects continue their development, Baltimore’s front office needs to⁤ determine who is expendable and who remains‌ integral as they ⁣seek additional pitching.
