The Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees are in a tight race in the American League East, with the Orioles holding a slight lead. Both teams are expected to be active in the trade market ahead of the MLB trade deadline on July 30th. Baltimore is seen to have a significant advantage over the Yankees in trade talks due to the strength of their farm system, ranked No. 1 in MLB. The Orioles are poised to make impactful trades, potentially targeting players like Tanner Scott and Mason Miller. While the Yankees have a decent prospect pool, they might struggle to outbid the Orioles for top trade targets, especially in pitching.
