Chances are that had Baltimore Orioles' first baseman Ryan Mountcastle not suffered a hamstring strain at the end of May, he would have been part of the fire sale at the trade deadline. Under control for one more season, it feels like the Orioles would have been willing to trade the 28-year-old first baseman had he been back in the lineup before the MLB trade deadline. Of course, Mountcastle being sidelined set the stage for Ryan O'Hearn to be one of the Orioles' biggest trade chips this season.
Looking at Mountcastle's season as a whole, it's been the worst season of his career with a wRC+ well under 100 and less than 5 home runs on the season.
