Ran the Orioles for years and it was Chris Davis' contract that did this to me. Its virtually impossible to move it. You're going to have to eat some of that contract. One time I did get lucky and an expansion team drafted him. But that is another story.
I'm currently trying the Rockies as the O's have gone past rebuilding into a competitive window and l like to rebuild.
You're best bet is a trade to a contender around the deadline. You would have to take lesser tier prospects, retain some % of the contract(s) and offer a better prospect or two in return. It can be done with some creative maneuvering but it isn't going to be easy.
You could also attempt to take on a bigger contract that ends sooner and will get you out from under it quicker.
