Baltimore Orioles weigh trade options for Colton Cowser ahead of deadline
Summary

The Baltimore Orioles are evaluating potential trades including Colton Cowser as the trade deadline approaches. Cowser, who was a runner-up for the American League Rookie of the Year in 2024, has struggled this season with a.205 batting average over 95 games. While the team has depth in the outfield, trading Cowser now may mean selling low on a player who still has team control until 2030. The organization is deciding whether to exercise patience or make a move as president of baseball operations Mike Elias considers the best path forward.
