The Orioles had six openings on their 26-man roster after today’s flurry of trades at the deadline. They narrowed it to five with one last transaction.
Left-hander Dietrich Enns was acquired from the Tigers for cash considerations, another move that apparently came just under the wire.
Enns, 34, made seven appearances with the Tigers this season, including a pair of starts, and allowed 11 earned runs and 12 total with 23 hits, four walks and 15 strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings. The two starts came on June 26 and July 3, his first appearances with Detroit, and he had mixed results – five scoreless innings with one hit allowed against the Athletics and seven earned runs (eight total) and eight hits in four innings in D.C.
Four of his five relief appearances were scoreless. The exception came on July 24 against the Blue Jays, with four runs allowed in 1 1/3.
Enns made 14 starts with Triple-A Toledo this year and registered a 2.89 ERA in 62 1/3 innings. He walked 15 batters, struck out 71 and surrendered only four home runs.
The Orioles have made the following roster moves:
- Recalled RHP Yaramil Hiraldo from Double-A Chesapeake.
- Recalled INF Jeremiah Jackson from Triple-A Norfolk.
- C Jacob Stallings elected free agency in lieu of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk.
The Orioles’ 40-man roster currently has 33 players.
The Nationals made only two more deals before this evening's trade deadline passed, sending Kyle Finnegan to the Tigers and Alex Call to the Dodgers, ultimately choosing to retain two veterans on expiring contracts and a host of players under club control headlined by MacKenzie Gore.
The 6 p.m. deadline passed with no last-minute moves, according to a club source. The Nats listened to offers for Gore and explored deals for Josh Bell and Paul DeJong but did not find any that met their demands.
Thus was interim general manager Mike DeBartolo more active on the days leading up to July 31 than he was on the actual deadline day. The Nationals dealt four veterans (Amed Rosario, Andrew Chafin, Luis Garcia, Michael Soroka) set to become free agents over the last week. They then wrapped up the late-July feeding frenzy with two moves this afternoon. They received 10 prospects total in return, six of them pitchers.
"I feel excited about what we did the last few days, getting some really exciting young players to bolster our farm system," DeBartolo said. "At a high level, we were just looking at the roster, taking opportunities where whatever was in the long-term best interests of the Nationals, and getting as many young players as we could to get back to where we want to be next year and beyond."
The Nats traded Finnegan to the Tigers for two starting pitching prospects drafted last year, dealing their veteran closer to a contender after passing on comparable opportunities to do so the last two seasons. The trade sends the 33-year-old reliever to Detroit for right-handers Josh Randall and R.J. Sales.

The inevitable for first baseman Ryan O’Hearn became reality today.
The Orioles traded O’Hearn and outfielder Ramón Laureano to the Padres, an industry source confirmed. Six players are believed to be coming back to the Orioles, with The Athletic reporting the inclusion of left-hander Boston Bateman and infielder Brandon Butterworth.
A summer that brought O’Hearn’s first All-Star appearance, as the designated hitter for the American League, is changing his life again. And Laureano lasted only a half-season after signing a $4 million deal with a $6.5 million option.
Bateman was the No. 4 prospect in San Diego’s system, according to MLB Pipeline’s rankings, after his selection in the second round of the 2024 draft out of Adolfo Camarillo High School.

He became a two-way player in 2024 and was later signed as a minor league free agent by the Mets on June 14, 2024. Nunez is currently ranked as the No. 14 Mets prospect by MLB Pipeline and No. 27 by Baseball America.

Originally selected by Baltimore in the 13th round of the 2015 First-Year Player Draft out of Campbell University (NC), the Greensboro, N.C. native’s 139 career steals rank seventh in Orioles history.

He made New York's Opening Day roster in 2024 and made his Major League debut on March 29 of that year at Houston.

The Orioles today announced that they have acquired minor league right-handed pitcher TWINE PALMER from the Houston Astros in exchange for infielder RAMÓN URÍAS and cash considerations.
Palmer, 20, went 2-0 with a 2.13 ERA (10 ER/42.1 IP) on 26 hits, 14 total runs allowed, 22 walks, two hit batters, and 44 strikeouts in 13 appearances (8 GS) with Single-A Fayetteville. The McAlester, Okla. native made his professional debut with the Woodpeckers last season, and pitched in two games after being selected by Houston in the 19th round of the 2024 First-Year Player Draft out of Connors State College (OK).
Urías, 31, hit .248/.300/.388 (64-for-258) with 12 doubles, eight home runs, 27 runs, 34 RBI, and 21 walks in 77 games with the Orioles this season. He made his MLB debut with Baltimore in 2020 and went on to play 506 games with the club, batting .259/.324/.404 (410-for-1580) with 76 doubles, six triples, 47 home runs, 197 runs scored, 205 RBI, and 131 walks. In 2022, he won the American League Gold Glove Award at third base to become the third Oriole in team history to do so, joining National Baseball Hall of Famer and Orioles legend BROOKS ROBINSON (16x) and MANNY MACHADO (2x).
Interim manager Tony Mansolino didn’t know yesterday morning whether certain players would make it through the series finale against the Blue Jays. Whether he’d hear from the front office, alerting him to a trade, or at least the possibility of one.
Former manager Brandon Hyde knew the drill during the rebuild period. Mansolino is getting his first experience with it.
“There’s always things kind of cooking with that,” he said. “For a couple days, we’ve gotten a phone call during the game, essentially like, ‘Hey, heads up in these scenarios.’ So I think that’s pretty normal this time of the year if you’re a team that’s kind of selling.”
Or full-in, without-question selling.
The Orioles aren’t straddling the fence. They traded relievers Bryan Baker, Gregory Soto and Seranthony Domínguez and infielder Ramón Urías and are receiving offers on numerous other players. First baseman Ryan O’Hearn and center fielder Cedric Mullins are high on the list, with the Reds among the teams tracking Mullins. The Cubs are a possible match for Zach Eflin based on their interest level, but the Orioles also could move Charlie Morton and Tomoyuki Sugano.
In 24 hours, the Orioles’ roster could look very different.
The front office is realistic about where Baltimore finds itself in the standings. Despite a great homestand with incredible performances from the likes of Cedric Mullins and Ryan O’Hearn, the Orioles would have to leapfrog seven American League teams to make the playoffs.
The reality of the situation wasn’t lost on the fans at Camden Yards, nor the players in the clubhouse, a few of which have already changed jerseys.
Ahead of today’s deadline, the Orioles have already sent Gregory Soto to the Mets and Seranthony Domínguez to the Blue Jays in exchange for some high-upside arms.
In exchange for Soto, the O’s received RHP Wellington Aracena and RHP Cameron Foster from New York. Foster didn’t enter Baltimore’s top 30 according to MLB Pipeline, nor was he a top-30 prospect in the Mets system according to Baseball America. But Aracena is ranked by both outlets.
