Ryan Mountcastle Trade Odds: Will The Orioles Trade Him?

As he enters the second-to-last arbitration-eligible season, Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle presents a unique conundrum for general manager Mike Elias. Mountcastle, the 27-year-old former first-round pick, posted a career-high 2.6 WAR in 124 games for the AL East franchise.

That conundrum, one that could impact Baltimore Orioles World Series odds, surrounds whether Elias will part ways with Mountcastle at some point during the 2025 MLB regular season.

Still a key subject of trade conversations, Mountcastle could be a tool for the team ahead of the trade deadline, which is months away. BetMaryland.com updated odds projecting where Mountcastle will land.

Mountcastle’s trade value is likely at its apex and Baltimore is anything but devoid of infield talent both at the MLB and minor-league level.

Given Mountcastle’s $6.787 million contract for the season, it shouldn’t be an issue for Baltimore to move the sixth-year infielder from Florida, with a host of MLB teams likely to jump at the chance to add him at some points this season.

Will Ryan Mountcastle Stay Or Go?

The O’s are still our favorites to keep Mountcastle through the season, at +200. At Maryland sportsbook apps, Baltimore is anywhere between +550 and +650 odds to win the franchise’s first American League pennant since 1983.

We think that the outside suitors with the best odds of landing Mountcastle include the Seattle Mariners (+300), Toronto Blue Jays (+500), New York Mets and the St. Louis Cardinals (+700 each).

Given Baltimore’s continued need for quality starting pitching, it would seem likely that clubs with a glut of MiLB talent on the mound would emerge as frontrunners to make a deal with the O’s. That is something Seattle has done well for years.

For now, what we know is that Mountcastle remains in the fold for Baltimore as the O’s prepare for the 2025 MLB season. The franchise is looking to make a third consecutive postseason appearance, which would be the first time since a three-year run between 1969 and 1971 – and BetMaryland.com will continue its Maryland sports betting coverage every step of the way.
