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.
- •Cowser has a.205 average and 27 RBIs this season.
- •Orioles have depth options like Leody Taveras and Heston Kjerstad.
- •Cowser's power output has plateaued since his rookie season.
- •The trade deadline may prompt a reassessment of Cowser's value.
- •Cowser remains under team control until 2030.
