4/08/25	Eflin throws 6 quality innings but leaves with shoulder fatigue as Orioles beat Diamondbacks 5-1. Ryan Mountcastle had a crucial two-run single with two outs in the fifth, hitting a low slider from Zac Gallen into center field for a 5-1 lead. Gallen (1-2) — coming off a 13-strikeout performance against the New York Yankees last week — gave up seven hits, walked four and struck out two. Ryan O'Hearn hit a solo shot in the first, driving Gallen's knuckle-curve over the right-field fence. Baltimore pushed its advantage to 2-0 in the third when Gunnar Henderson hit a leadoff double and scored on Adley Rutschman's single. Source: https://wtop.com/baltimore-orioles/2025/04/eflin-t...
3/30/25	MLB rumors: Orioles open to trade of ex-33 HR star to make room for superstar prospect. The Baltimore Orioles are looking to get back to the playoffs in 2025 and avenge a disappointing Wild Card loss to the Kansas City Royals last season. Ryan Mountcastle has been a mainstay at first base and in the middle of the order for the Orioles, but his time with the team could be coming to an end. Triple-A corner infielder Coby Mayo has emerged as a star in the minors, and Mountcastle could soon be moved to make room for the 23-year old according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. “The Baltimore Orioles are letting teams know that first baseman Ryan Mountcastle is available in a potential trade to clear a spot for Coby Mayo,” Nightengale wrote.

1/11/25	Baltimore Orioles Trade Proposal Finally Lands New Ace From Seattle Mariners. The Baltimore Orioles have a major hole still to fill in their starting rotation and could use a trade to finally complete the task. Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer posted a proposed deal that could potentially get a new ace in town for a relatively low price. Rymer suggested the Orioles trade first baseman Ryan Mountcastle to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for right-handed starter Luis Castillo. While Mountcastle could contribute to the team next season, bringing in a top-level starting pitcher is a much larger worry given the depth that Baltimore has on in the infield.

11/22/24	Guardians Linked to Risky Trade for Questionable Slugger. The Cleveland Guardians are definitely in need of some bats this offseason, but due to their historically frugal spending habits, they may have to peruse the trade market for answers rather than splurge in free agency. There should absolutely be some realistic options available for the Guardians this winter, and James Mastrucci of Away Back Gone has identified a potential candidate: Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle. "The Baltimore Orioles find themselves at a crucial point in their competitive timeline," Mastrucci wrote. "Baltimore can now be considered a perennial playoff team and has an influx of new prospects making their way to the bigs they are going to have to make decisions about certain players, one of which may be Ryan Mountcastle."

11/08/24	4 Teams Who Could Show Trade Interest in Baltimore Orioles Veteran First Baseman. Ahead of the 2024 MLB trade deadline, the Baltimore Orioles shockingly made first baseman Ryan Mountcastle available in trade talks.
