The Baltimore Orioles are on the wrong side of the playoff line and could make changes to their roster ahead of the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline because of it.
Several Orioles players have been creating chatter in the rumor mill as trade candidates leading up to the deadline. Among them is All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman, who is under team control until the end of the 2027 season.

In a recent article for ESPN, Jeff Passan named Rutschman as the best trade fit for the New York Yankees.

With the Yankees needing an upgrade at the catcher position, it would make a lot of sense if they made a serious push for Rutschman. He would be a significant addition to their group, as he is a legitimate star when playing at his best.
In 67 games this season with the Orioles, Rutschman has eight home runs, 47 RBI, and a .251 batting average. This was good enough for him to make the All-Star Game for the third time in his five-year major league career. With this, he would certainly be a good player for the Yankees to add to their roster.
However, with Rutschman being one of the top catchers in the rumor mill right now, it is clear that the Yankees will have competition to acquire him. It will be interesting to see if they end up being the team that wins the sweepstakes from here.
