The Baltimore Orioles’ reported willingness to consider trades involving nearly their entire roster drew attention on MLB Network Wednesday morning.

Baltimore is seeking upgrades to its starting rotation and outfield depth after finishing below .500 for a second consecutive season.

The Baltimore Banner’s Andy Kostka wrote Monday that the Orioles would listen to offers for any player except first baseman Pete Alonso.

MLB Network shared a “Hot Stove” segment Wednesday on X, formerly Twitter, featuring Harold Reynolds and host Matt Vasgersian discussing the report and what it could mean for the Orioles’ offseason.

“So to me, if they're saying, ‘Hey, we're willing to trade everybody,' it's basically saying we're willing to start over. We're not headed where we need to be going,” Reynolds said.

Reynolds’ assessment does not establish that the Orioles have decided to rebuild. Listening to offers also differs from actively shopping players or committing to move them, and the report does not confirm any completed deals.

Baltimore finished 79-82 in 2026 after reaching the postseason in both 2023 and 2024, including a 101-win campaign in 2023. President of baseball operations Mike Elias and newly hired general manager Jared Banner now face decisions about the roster’s next configuration.

The Orioles’ rotation posted a 4.24 ERA, ranking 17th in MLB. Baltimore is also evaluating its catching depth following Adley Rutschman’s departure while seeking upgrades in the outfield.

Alonso supplied 43 home runs and 113 RBIs during his first season in Baltimore after signing a five-year, $155 million contract. His reported status gives the front office one clear exception as it weighs potential offers.

For now, the Orioles’ willingness to explore trades leaves several possibilities open. Reynolds viewed that approach as a potential reset, though the extent of any roster changes remains uncertain.
