Orioles Bolster Roster With Key Trades

The Baltimore Orioles have been highly active around the MLB trade deadline, making several key acquisitions to bolster their roster. They acquired notable players such as Zach Eflin, Trevor Rogers, Seranthony Domínguez, Gregory Soto, and Eloy Jiménez, while calling up top prospect Coby Mayo to address immediate needs. Despite their aggressive trades, they retained their top prospects Jackson Holliday, Samuel Basallo, and Mayo, indicating a balanced approach to immediate success and future potential. Some trades, like acquiring Austin Slater and Livan Soto, were more about adding depth to the roster. The Orioles also executed a rare prospect-only trade, sending Billy Cook to the Pirates for Patrick Reilly. This flurry of moves underscores Baltimore's all-in strategy to contend for their first World Series title since 1983, even as they navigate injuries and roster adjustments.
