The Baltimore Orioles' front office continues to receive a lot of calls from interested buyers around the majors, as the team is expected to be one of the most active sellers at the trade deadline.

Right-handers Dylan Bundy and Kevin Gausman, as well as second baseman Jonathan Schoop, are drawing interest from a number of teams, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN.

The Atlanta Braves have contacted the Orioles regarding the trio, while the Milwaukee Brewers have asked about Schoop and Gausman. The New York Yankees were linked to Gausman earlier this month when it was reported that they were also interested in a number of Baltimore's relievers.

Schoop was a first-time All-Star during a career year in 2017, but like many Orioles, he's struggled this season. He's hitting .229/.262/.394 with 11 home runs and 17 doubles in 78 games. The 26-year-old has one more year of arbitration eligibility remaining before becoming a free agent.

The Orioles would prefer to keep both Bundy and Gausman, as the team is in need of quality starting pitching, but could look to make a move if they receive a strong enough return. Gausman has two additional years of control after this season. The 27-year-old owns a 4.33 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and 97 strikeouts over 112 1/3 innings. Bundy has posted a 4.57 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 108 1/3 innings while striking out 116. The 25-year-old has three years of arbitration left before becoming a free agent in 2022.
