Insider Gives Two Orioles Fan Favorites High Chance of Being Traded

At this point in time, it's hard to not imagine the Baltimore Orioles becoming sellers.

They dug themselves a massive hole at the beginning of the season when it came to their chances of making the playoffs, and even though they have been playing better baseball as of late, it's starting to feel like it'll be too little, too late before the July 31 trade deadline.

The good news is they have plenty of players who should generate interest across the league, allowing them to salvage what could be a disastrous year by getting back assets for the future.

Two Orioles who are routinely discussed in trade conversations are Cedric Mullins and Ryan O'Hearn, and it should come as no surprise that Jeff Passan of ESPN gives both of them a high probability of getting dealt this summer.

O'Hearn was listed with the higher percentage chance of getting moved in the insider's top 50 trade deadline candidates piece at 85%, with Mullins coming in with a 70% chance.

Based on the season that O'Hearn is having this year, it's hard to disagree with that.

Mullins started off red-hot, and even though he has cooled down a bit in large part because of his right hamstring strain, he is still slashing .214/.298/.419 with 12 homers and 35 RBI that makes him an intriguing power threat for contending teams around the league.
