With the MLB trade deadline fast approaching, the Baltimore Orioles are exploring trades for starting and relief pitchers. Would they deal Jackson Holliday for a top talent?
His name has come up in rumors involving a potential acquisition of Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. David Hall of The Virginian-Pilot asked Holliday if he was aware of the rumors.
“Obviously, I don’t live in a cave,” Holliday told Hall. “I have Instagram and Twitter. Yeah, I see them. But I’m just trying to come out here and focus on getting better every day. At the end of the day, whatever happens happens. But I’m trying to focus on playing baseball here and for the Orioles.”
Asked about the $8.19 million signing bonus Baltimore gave him, and whether or not that gives him a sense of being untouchable, Holliday simply maintained his focus is on the Orioles.
“I would like to think so, but you never know. Like I said, my focus is here with the Orioles, trying to get better each and every day and help this team win and help the big league team win, hopefully here very soon,” Holliday continued. “That’s my goal. So nothing other than that is what I’m focusing on right now.”

Holliday spent 10 games with Baltimore for his debut MLB stint earlier this season. He went 2-of-34 at the plate and has spent his season with the Triple-A affiliate Norfolk Tides since.
