No shit he wont be dealt to them. That doesn't mean he shouldn't be traded to them.
They aren't going to find a better team to trade with and the only reason they wont trade him to the Yankees is because they'll get him a year earlier, even though the Orioles have no ****ing shot of competing for that year. It's one of those rare situations where it actually makes perfect ****ing sense to trade a player to a rival because the Yankees, like the Cubs were a couple years ago, are a contending team with a LOADED farm system. Who has a better farm? White Sox and Braves? Anyone else? Neither of those teams are gonna be holding out to see if they will be competing for the playoffs at the deadline to come in and blow away the Orioles with an offer.
