The Baltimore Orioles are poised to be extremely busy at the 2025 trade deadline and honestly, it is pretty easy to see why. Even if you are still bullish on the Orioles' young core, this is a roster that has a lot of expendable supporting cast members and pending free agents they can (and should) move to teams closer to contending this year. However, one name that has been a bit tougher to swallow as a potential trade candidate is reliever Felix Bautista.
Not only is Bautista extremely good and seems to be well-respected in the Orioles' clubhouse, but he is also under team control via arbitration through 2027.
