Baltimore Orioles

Baltimore dealt their franchise face to an American League East foe.

Rutschman’s arrival in the majors in 2022 coincided with an upswing for the Orioles, and they went on to win 192 games in 2023 and 2024. But Baltimore has failed to build on that.

COLUMN | Players like Adley Rutschman helped Baltimore fall back in love with this team. And it’s devastating that his time here ended this way.

Ward has walked a career-high 87 times, but has notched only seven homers.

The game turned over to the bullpens after a rain delay, and it immediately fell apart for the Orioles. Philadelphia scored in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings.

Baltimore (54-57) struggled to break through against left-hander Cristopher Sánchez despite twice loading the bases, and Philadelphia pulled away with four eighth-inning runs against the bullpen.

According to three sources teams remain interested in Rutschman, and two say the Orioles are listening to offers.

How many players will the Orioles deal in the next two days?

COLUMN | Chris Davis didn't expect to get into the Orioles Hall of Fame this soon. But he didn't appreciate his career achievements until stepping away from the game.

Kremer has been in the majors with the Orioles since 2020. He holds a 6.50 ERA this season.

The Orioles are only 54-56, yet they are only 1.5 games out of the final American League wild-card spot. Baltimore can at best reach .500 ahead of the trade deadline.

Cano holds a 2.21 ERA in 36 2/3 innings this season.

The trade for Jake Rogers was not made due to injury setbacks for catchers Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo. Mike Elias said both catchers are progressing.

Chris Davis returns to Baltimore at an inauspicious time.

Baltimore has two catchers currently active: Yohel Pozo and Chadwick Tromp.

I tried to identify the factors that might hold more influence over Mike Elias’ decision-making than we think.

Every game is important at this time of year. But with the Orioles on the fence between buying, selling or both, it’s all magnified.

Baltimore might have to get creative to find reinforcements.

Entering the seventh inning, Baltimore found itself trailing by seven runs. The Orioles caught up with a five-run seventh and a two-run eighth to force extra innings.
