Padres Acquire Ryan O’Hearn, Ramon Laureano

By Steve Adams | July 31, 2025 at 11:15pm CDT

The Padres’ frenetic trade deadline continued today, as they bolstered their offense by trading for first baseman/outfielder Ryan O’Hearn and outfielder Ramon Laureano from the Orioles.  Six 2024 Padres draft picks will head to Baltimore in return: Boston Bateman, Cobb Hightower, Tyson Neighbors, Brandon Butterworth, Victor Figueroa and Tanner Smith.

O’Hearn and Laureano stood as two of the more obvious trade candidates on the Orioles’ roster. The former is a pure rental earning an $8MM salary in 2025, while the latter is owed $4MM this year and has a $6.5MM club option for the 2026 season. Both are in the midst of productive seasons at the plate, and both will provide noted upgrades to San Diego’s lineup.

The 32-year-old O’Hearn was acquired from the Royals for peanuts three years ago. His stock was low enough after the acquisition that Baltimore even succeeded in passing him through waivers. O’Hearn was selected back to the majors mid-April in 2023 and never looked back. He hit .289/.322/.480 that season and has now slashed .277/.342/.454 in three years as an Oriole. Along the way, he’s radically improved his plate discipline and hit tool. O’Hearn walked in only 4% of his 2023 plate appearances while fanning at a 22.3% clip. He’s up to an 11.6% walk rate in 2025 and has fanned at a 14% clip and 17.5% pace, respectively, in the past two seasons.

O’Hearn doesn’t hit lefties well, despite holding his own in 2025, so the Friars will likely platoon him to the extent possible. Adding a right-handed bat like Laureano makes that goal easier. The 31-year-old is in the midst of a career year at the plate, hitting .290/.355/.529 (144 wRC+) with 15 home runs in 290 plate appearances. He handles lefties well enough to take some at-bats off O’Hearn’s plate, but Laureano’s production in right-on-right matchups this year (.305/.368/.563) should be robust enough that he’s in the lineup on a daily basis.

The Padres can plug Laureano in as their primary left fielder and install O’Hearn at first base or designated hitter versus right-handed pitching. O’Hearn and Luis Arraez give the Friars a pair of lefty-swinging first base/DH options with plus contact skills (though Arraez is in a class of his own in that regard). Gavin Sheets likely loses some playing time as a result of this, though pushing him to the bench with Laureano and O’Hearn in the starting lineup makes for a much deeper group of hitters all around. Sheets being pushed into a limited role probably reduces the opportunities for Bryce Johnson and Trenton Brooks.

Laureano has played primarily in the outfield corners for the Orioles this season, though he’s no stranger to center field, either. He’s drawn plus marks in both corners both this year and throughout his big league career. That’s an important element of the acquisition in and of itself; the Padres have been a roughly average team defensively in left field this year, but that’s due primarily to early contributions from the since-released Jason Heyward. Sheets has seen plenty of time in left field and posted below-average marks there. Laureano should be a boost both with the bat and with the glove.

Given next year’s $6.5MM option, Laureano seems quite likely to be more than just a short-term rental. He’ll give the Padres an option in right next year — and an affordable one at that.

For a Padres club that is bogged down by major financial commitments to Xander Bogaerts, Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., Jake Cronenworth, Joe Musgrove, Yu Darvish and Nick Pivetta (among others), that’s a notable perk. The Padres already have $166MM on next year’s payroll, not including arbitration raises to Jason Adam, Adrian Morejon and new acquisitions Freddy Fermin and JP Sears.

The Orioles will receive a heavy volume of lower-level prospects in exchange for the latest pair of veterans they’re shipping out. Bateman was the Padres’ second-round pick one year ago and took home an over-slot $2.5MM bonus. He’s a huge 6’8″ southpaw selected out of a California high school and has spent the 2025 season in Class-A, where he’s posted a 4.08 ERA with a 25.8% strikeout rate and 8.6% walk rate.

Baseball America ranked Bateman sixth in San Diego’s system. The lefty garners praise for a heater he runs up to 96 mph — which surely seems faster given the extension he can generate with his long levers — as well as an upper-70s curve with plus spin. He’ll have more work to do on his command as he continues to face more advanced hitters, and he’s still working to add a develop an average third pitch.

The 20-year-old Hightower was last year’s third-round pick by the Friars. He’s spent the season in Class-A and batted .239/.363/.314 in 190 plate appearances. BA had him eighth in the Padres’ system. Despite this year’s pedestrian output, he’s regarded as a bat-first infielder who may have to move off shortstop down the road.

Neighbors is a 6’1″, 220-pound righty whom San Diego selected in the fourth round out of Kansas State last year. He’s already climbed to Double-A and has pitched 43 2/3 innings with a 1.85 ERA, 37.6% strikeout rate and 10.6% walk rate in that time. Much of that success has come against younger competition, it should be noted. Baseball America calls Neighbors a no-doubt reliever with plus stuff and shaky command. He ranked 20th in the Padres’ system.

Butterworth was the Padres’ 12th-round pick last summer. The 22-year-old NC State product is having a nice year in High-A, slashing .267/.327/.455 with 11 homers, 17 doubles, seven triples and a 13-for-15 showing in stolen base attempts. He didn’t rank among the system’s 30 best prospects on BA’s most recent update. FanGraphs’ Eric Longenhagen listed Butterworth as No. 38 among the 38 prospects he ranked in their system last month.

Smith was a 15th-rounder out of Harvard. He’s pitched out of the bullpen in the Padres’ system this year and logged a 3.46 ERA in 26 frames between the Rookie-level Complex League and their Low-A affiliate. The 6’6″ righty has missed plenty of bats but also walked 11.6% of his opponents. He’s not a ranked prospect in the system, nor is the 21-year-old Figueroa, whom the Padres took in last year’s 18th round. Figueroa is a first baseman and corner outfielder who’s hitting .318/.420/.588 between the Complex League and Low-A — impressive numbers on the surface that were primarily compiled against teenaged opposition in the low minors.

        yes- but the team still has the core left. Adley, gunnar holliday, westberg, and cowser in the field. With Mayo, Kjerstad, Basallo and a few others starting to fill in.

        This year was going nowhere, so pull the trigger and refill a system that was getting very light. with an incredible draft for hitters (irish, aloy, and de braun were all top 25 draft prospects with codine not far behind) and basically a trade deadline that restocked a ton of pitching prospects, this is now a top 5 system again.

          I want to see who’s coming back. I understand the marginal prospects in the other deals but I don’t know if anyone left on padres system left. Giving up Laureano under control last year is dumb if no one of significance is in return. I’ll hold off judgement till they mention who is coming back

          Farm systems don’t win playoff games. MLB players do. The Orioles will need to add at least 3 really good starting pitchers and a couple of really good relievers to have any shot at making the playoffs in 2026.

          The O’s have only given up Laureano as a real impactful ML’er for 2026 in a deal thus far.

          Acquired plenty of prospects to use in deals. As long as Elias uses them this offseason we’re in better shape. O’Neill is looking right now but you can’t trust his health. He ideally gives you what Laureano does.

          I have a lot of faith in Elias retooling with some surprisingly good relievers, he and the Orioles front office have been pretty successful in doing that. much less so with starting pitching, I think Rubenstein is going to have to bring out his checkbook in order to solve the starting dilemma, and likely overpay. but I don’t think that’s too far of a stretch to believe that will happen.

          I’m probably most sad about Laureano because of what he’s meant to the team this year and the blue collar way that he gets it all done, he puts on his hard hat and comes to work. no drama, absolute professional.

          I can’t remember a year where this many major league players have been traded away. they’re a lot flyers out there on prospects. I’m a little excited about the Lefty starter. bringing on 2026, go O’s!

        BW – Bateman does not increase the Padres chances at a ring in 25 (or 26). It will be nice to have these 2 bats (and even gloves) in the lineup over some underperforming holes.

        Laureano at his 2 spot and Hearn at 5 gives lots of creative options.

          Keeping Gore over Cease King Vasquez is a silly take

          Soto, Profar, Sheets have done what James Wood does

          Abrams has posted 3.5 WAR Bogaerts 2 WAR and Kim posted similar WAR previous years compared to Abrams.

          So no. They wouldn’t have had vastly better shots considering who they kept has given them better production in the rotation, similar production in the OF, and somewhat lesser production at SS.

          Who personally attacked you? No one is going to debate you when you say Sheets is as productive as Wood. Soto isn’t on your team anymore. He has nothing to offer the Padres from winning a World Series.

          .244/.317/.449 vs righties for sheets .766 OPS

          Wood hit .263/.365/.495 OPS .860

          As the left side of a platoon in the OF Sheets have given them fine production. Saying they’d be significantly better with Wood is silly cause Sheets has posted fine production in his place.

          Is the extra .90 OPS really worth losing Vasquez King Cease while keeping Gore? Lmao no. No it is not.

          .90 OPS difference choosing Wood over Sheets doesn’t make up for keeping Gore and not having King Cease and Vasquez. Not even close.

          This is a crazy take. They didn’t win anything in the past years you’re referencing, and all the guys they sent away did those things as rookies. They still have full careers ahead of them. The padres didn’t win anything World Series, they didn’t even play in one, they didn’t sign Soto long term. They’ve done exactly what OP outlines, continue to throw any remaining prospects at NLDS appearances and mediocrity. Except they’re at the bottom of the farm barrel, so it’s only going to get uglier from here.

          Wow. Wood is 22 and in year 2. He is a premier talent in the league. Justifying Sheets to Wood is just sad. If you think King is vastly better than Gore then you are definitely trying to justify this because you are a Padre fan. Gore is also still under control after this season. King also benefits a great deal from pitching in a pitchers park. He’s also been injured most of the year. Now you haven’t even mentioned Abram’s. What would have the 250 million dollar contract the Padres have to Bogaerts bought if they kept Abram’s? They wouldn’t have hade to make all these silly Hail Mary moves today. They are compounding bad decisions.

          Reading skills aren’t your strong suit

          Let me help you

          Sheets King Vasquez Cease > Wood Gore

          Math is hard I know.
          Wood having an OPS of .860 and Sheets having an OPS of .766 isn’t worth keeping Gore over King Cease Vasquez

          See your brain apparently can’t handle the fact we are talking multiple positions and you’re just focusing on Wood and Sheets for some strange reason

          Probably because you can’t handle being wrong that what the padres have gotten out of SS, LF, SP has actually kept them competitive and having Wood Abrams and Gore wouldn’t make them significantly better like you incorrectly claimed.

          “ They probably would have had a vastly better shot at a ring with Wood, Abrahams and Gore”
          Nope. Keeping them over Kim/Bogaerts, Cease King Vasquez, Profar Soto Sheets wouldn’t have given the padres a vastly better shot.

          Because those teams were mediocre, that’s why. Going into June more than half the league was under .500. The postseason on the AL side was weak as well. The Dodgers only competition was the Padres. The point was playoff teams don’t tend to replicate their success from the previous year. Hince why we haven’t had a repeat champ in 25 years.

          what are you even talking about? nine teams in the NL finished above .500 and six finished below. “going into June” is meaningless because the Padres were one of those teams below .500 and now you are touting them as the only competition the Dodgers faced.

          Right, more teams improved over the second half than the first, but that doesn’t mean they were good. This may come as a shock, but records don’t tell the whole story of teams.

          Examples:

          The Braves were the most apt definition of the word “mid” In almost every single metric category and were an auto win for any team that played them. They were by far the worst 89 team I’ve ever seen.

          The Phillies went 33-33 in the second half.

          The Mets were barely over .500 in the first half and went on a hot streak.

          The Royals and Tigers were a couple of mediocre teams that just happened to win their first matchups against superior teams.

          It was almost universally agreed that last year was the weakest competition we’ve seen in the game in a while. Even Roberts said the Padres were the only matchup that they were actually challenged. You sound like the Dodger fans on FaceBook back in 2020 trying to cope with the fact that a 60 game season was somehow “harder” to win because there more playoff teams.

        It appears the Padres strategy is to shorten the game with a lockdown bullpen. Padres already had the best bullpen in baseball. Adding the A’s Closer just makes them even more competitive.

        And, the Padres have made serious upgrades @ Catcher, LF, 1B/DH.

        Not sold on JP Sears,
        Would have rather have either Kolek or Bergerts.
        Could the Padres have substituted 1 of their other minor league pitchers in the KC catcher deal and kept Kolek or Bergerts?!

        That said, Petco Park(pitchers park), the Padres great defense and maybe some adjustments from the Padres pitching coaches could unlock
        a better version of JP Sears and improve his ERA.

        Many Championships have been won by teams with lockdown bullpens,.

      that will be a long rebuild since they are selling the literal farm this year. going into this their farms value was 50% de vreies (gone), 25% salas, and 25% everything else (boston, mayfield being a lot of that). So they are losing like 60-70% of the value of their farm.

        As I have been posting for a long time, the Padres farm system players have been vastly undervalued by laptop Fan/GMs and the media.

        Notice how the Soto trade exposed the Nationals farm and drafting as subpar?! The Nats return in the Soto deal was better than 5=6 years of the Nats own drafts and signings.
        It is one of the reasons the Nats GM was fired this year.

        Preller and his team have a talent for finding unheralded, under rated talent. He has torn down the Padres farm 2-4 times since he has been in charge of the Padres and quickly rebuilt it each time in a few short years.

        After seeing the results and his modus operandi, I have no reason to believe that AJ Preller won’t quickly restock the Padres farm.

        He already signed 30 players this year from the draft and non drafted free agents. If you multiply that by 3 years then he should have a pool of 90 players to work with and sift through in a few years.

        And, Preller and his team hit on a higher percentage of drafted and signed players than many other teams.

        And, they could always deal Miller after 2 or 3 years in a Padres uni and get a very nice return as another option.

        Not worried about it…

Everything else they moved they can sign in the offseason if they want. Honestly i think there is a non 0 chance they sign mullin in the offseason since I think they are not sold on Banfield generally and cowser in center (he really is better suited in the corners)

        does salas have had knees since i would freak if he was one of the guys in this deal.

        Bateman alone is a great headliner prospect, If Preller moved Mayfield too in this deal i would be over the moon, but i expect the rest of the package to be low minors guys towards the bottom of their top 30ish guys (which is not great)

      I figured Elias was going to do this with a pairing that made sense to get a higher end prospect. He had a ton of guys that would garner FV 40-45 prospects that he was moving. So he just needed to find the team that needed 2 of those guys and was willing to just give a FV 50 guy instead of a pair of 45s….
      I expect it to be something like one of the 3-4 releivers they moved/will move with one of the hitters- but this works.

    Preller went all in for 2025 and still got players with long-term control in Miller, Sears, and Fermin, and at least one more season in Laureano. Only O’Hearn is a rental.

    I do want to point out that there were no rumors at all that the Padres were even interested in any of those players other than Laureano.

    Oh damn, a two-fer!

    It’s very sad to see O’Hearn go, his comeback from the DFA scrap heap to making the AS team was really one of the highlights of the last few years of Orioles baseball, but with Mayo and Basallo both on track for 1B/DH roles in 2026 (and Kjerstad maybe?), there was no real path to him staying in Baltimore.

    Also a little surprised Laureano wasn’t retained with that cheap club option for next year, but I’m fine with selling high on him.

          What bad position? Padres will still have Miller, Sears, Fermin,and Wagner beyond 2026. :Laureano will still be a Padre next season. Musgrove will return next season so the rotation will still be really good even without any additions in FA in the offseason or moving Morejon or Miller into it.. The bullpen will still be lights out even if Suarez opts out.

          In 2026 they have Pivetta, Musgrove, Darvish, Vasquez, Sears and will no doubt add via trade or FA (King?). Maybe Mendez cracks the roster, but that will likely be in long relief. They may not have to convert Miller or Morejon (who have both started in the past, but have shown more value as RPs). Next year’s bullpen is intact, sans Suarez.

          Totally agree and the regulars are pretty much. 1b / DH is open but really, they like Arreaz and I wonder if O’Hearn isn’t an audition?

          I’d bring back Iglesias in a heartbeat for his Bench D.

          A lot of money coming off the books – if King isn’t extended it must be totally because he wants to play somewhere else.

          So we will prob see all three at times. Jose obviously brings plus defense to get infielders days off their feet. Gives the padres some viable bench options which they have had. Wry little of this year. On top of Wade/reynolds whoever stays getting some pinch run opportunities. It’s a pretty well rounded team.

But his team is playing for a playoff berth., he has gone out and improved his team right now and if it gets him where he wants to be at the end of the regular season like he said before so be it.

      I do agree in the general concept that most GMs hold on to their prospects too long and overvalue them relative to acquiring proven MLB players. But Preller has gone off the deep end with that concept. The right balance is some where way to the other side of Preller. But indeed, most GMs should be trading prospects, even their more elite ones, more frequently.

        It almost is like the NFL draft, where a lot of teams use their draft pick to improve their teams, some NFL GM say they use future draft picks as their leverage. Well Preller don’t have that concept in MLB, and if he did oh my God, he would not have hardly any picks in the future.

      The model only works if you have elite talent acquisition (draft, IFA, waivers, trades, buy-low), and Preller is seriously one of the hardest-working FO guys in the league.

    If I were the padres I would keep cease and move him to the bullpen he has been great the first two times through the lineup.

    King
    Darvish
    Privetta
    Sears
    Vasquez

    But with cease in the bullpen you can shorten the game every game you can do what the dodgers did in playoffs last year and throw a bullpen game back to back if you have to.

    I expec sears to thrive in San Diego with Nieva. He has a great career war for being on a terrible team and his ks and whip are solid

          The Padres just added Mason Miller to what was already the best bullpen in baseball. The Padres bullpen this season was already much better than than the Dodgers bullpen last season. A full half point of ERA and FIP better.

          clippers’ takes above are reasonable suggestions. The strength/depth of the Padres bullpen now gives Shildt a lot of flexibility on his use of starters, playing to their individual strengths rather than to paradigms. And frankly we’ve seen that in play on the Padres this year with the regular use of Vasquez/Bergert innings 1-4. Whatever it takes to win games.

          I am glad they kept Cease, and apparently AJ was always just listening and not at all aggressively shopping him for necessary payroll reductions, as Acee, Lin, Bow tie Bob and others (Steve Adams) were constantly suggesting.

        I’m not taking a position on this, but would interject that looking at this year’s data alone is not necessarily a good predictor of Cease’s performance the next two months. I do support the idea of managing SPs to the individual strengths of players and overall qualities of the bullpen support. The Padres have a lot of flexibility to do so now with their absurdly deep pen.

If we gave up a 2 war player and a 3 war player for 1 Top 200 prospect it’ll look as bad as the Rodger’s trade looked last year.
