There are many culprits for what's happened in Baltimore thus far, and their current straits raise the possibility that the Orioles will undertake some level of sell-off leading up to the July 31 trade deadline. More specifically, it's not hard to find informed speculation that the O's may entertain offers for stalwart catcher Adley Rutschman .

The Baltimore Orioles are in a tough spot with the trade deadline on July 31. The team has severely underperformed, but after firing manager Brandon Hyde, the club is 25-21. Overall, the Orioles sport a 40-49 record and sit dead-last in the American League East and seven-and-a-half games back from the third AL Wild Card spot.

Major League Baseball's 2025 trade deadline is just three weeks away. With an All-Star break between now and July 31, that means each team only has around 17 games remaining until judgment day.
