Orioles face trade deadline uncertainty amid performance struggles

The Baltimore Orioles approach the trade deadline with unclear intentions, as General Manager Mike Elias considers trading players to focus on future seasons. With the team positioned 2.5 games behind a playoff spot, some players may help in 2026 while others are on the trading block.

Decisions will be made by 6 PM today as the team grapples with balancing current competitiveness and future development.
