The Orioles are expected to be sellers as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches after another midseason swoon. Matt Vensel of The Baltimore Sun writes that J.J. Hardy, Mark Reynolds, Jeremy Guthrie, Koji Uehara, Luke Scott and Derrek Guerrero could be dealt. "The Orioles are trying to negotiate a contract extension with Hardy, a free agent at season's end, but if they don’t make significant progress by late July, the Orioles might be forced to trade him while they can still get value for him," Vensel writes. "Reynolds has been one of the hottest players in baseball over the past five weeks," Vensel added of the slugger. "He leads the major leagues with 13 home runs since June 1, including five already in July."
