MLB Trade Rumors: AL East Team Linked To Michael Kopech

May 25, 2024 ,

Recent MLB trade rumors have prominently linked the Baltimore Orioles with a potential move for Chicago White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech.

As the trade deadline approaches, the Orioles are actively seeking to enhance their pitching staff, and Kopech, with his high-velocity fastball and notable strikeout abilities, emerges as a prime candidate.

Known for his raw power and emergence as a dominant bullpen arm, Kopech could provide the crucial boost the Orioles need for a deep postseason run, despite some inconsistency in his performances.

The Orioles, keen on shifting from rebuilders to contenders, are exploring options to add both depth and top-tier talent to their lineup.

Since shifting to the bullpen this season, Kopech has been great, recording a 3.13 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, with    32 strikeouts across 23 innings and 21 appearances (12 games finished).

Possessing one of the stronger farm systems in the league, Baltimore could offer a compelling package to the White Sox, who might be looking to acquire young prospects or major league-ready talent in return.

This potential trade highlights the Orioles' aggressive strategy to solidify their competitive standing, particularly in the challenging AL East, aiming not just for playoff participation but for substantial success.

Over his five-year MLB career, the 28-year-old holds a 4.26 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, with 389 strikeouts across 355.1 innings and 124 appearances (60 starts).
