The Orioles haven’t decided yet whether they’re sellers or buyers, or some combination of both, as they head toward the deadline. But if they decide to buy, they’ve been looking for a left fielder with power, preferably right-handed. So Justin Upton, who can be a free agent after this season, is a perfect match on that score.
The Orioles also have had interest in the Padres’ controllable starting pitching, particularly Tyson Ross and Andrew Cashner. But one executive who has spoken with each club says it’s difficult to envision how the teams could match up on that big a deal unless the Orioles were to include pitcher Kevin Gausman. And just a few days ago, Orioles manager Buck Showalter described the thought of trading Gausman as “comical.” One friend of Showalter told ESPN.com: “Buck’s not going to let that happen.”
