The Orioles are considering trading Coby Mayo and Ryan Mountcastle as Spring Training starts, with Mayo seen as a better trade asset due to his youth and lower salary.

The Baltimore Orioles are exploring trades for Coby Mayo and Ryan Mountcastle as Spring Training begins, with Mountcastle sidelined by hamate surgery and both players facing roster competition. Mayo, a 24-year-old with six years of control, is seen as a more attractive trade asset due to his youth and low salary, while Mountcastle, 29, has a $6.787 million salary and a 2027 club option, but is viewed as a risky trade due to injury history and declining performance. The Orioles are weighing options amid depth at first base and DH, with no deals finalized.
