Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Orioles won’t non-tender Ryan Mountcastle.

There was a thought that Mountcastle could be non-tendered because of his injury issues and a salary that will likely pay him $8 million plus for 2026, but Baltimore will keep the 28-year-old. For now. Mountcastle is as obvious a trade candidate as there is, and it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see him playing elsewhere before the start of the campaign.
