Coby Mayo, a 24-year-old infielder for the Baltimore Orioles, hit a two-run triple against the Detroit Tigers on July 29, 2026. The Orioles, currently three games under.500, may make roster changes, potentially making Mayo available. The Cleveland Guardians, looking to strengthen their offense, could view Mayo as a candidate due to his right-handed hitting prowess against lefties, despite his overall struggling season. They may also look to trade Bo Naylor or pursue undervalued relievers as the trade deadline approaches.

- •Mayo has a career wRC+ of 146 against left-handed pitchers.
- •The Guardians are expected to make smaller trades but consider bigger names.
- •Cleveland's current need is hitting, amid a favorable pitching market.
