"Other than the beloved face of the franchise getting traded, how was the movie?" www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
They went to see Spider-Man. Instead, Orioles saw Adley Rutschman get traded.

Heard some Stevie Winwood in Wegmans and it reminded me of the greatest highlight montage ever - the Lakers' 1987 run to the NBA Finals set to Back In The High Life, two years after they won in '85. shazrasul.wordpress.com/2014/07/19/b...
Back in the High Life / NBA 1987 #memories
The song “Back in the High Life Again” by Steve Winwood immediately makes me think of the closing montage to the 1987 NBA finals (which I watched every second of as a 12 year old, even …

In a year when tons of teams were bunched within a couple games of playoff position, did you think they'd go for broke or adopt a loser mentality? Did you even have to ask? www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Loser mentality all the rage at 2026 MLB trade deadline | Opinion
Some MLB teams still in the pennant race threw in the towel at the deadline. Why?

Mike Elias: "It is an incredibly emotional moment for Adley (Rutschman) to depart this organization in this way." #Orioles
Odd how the #Nationals keep acquiring pitchers with reliever profiles yet are trading away pieces that suggest a bullpen won't matter for at least a year or two.
Is Henry LaLane Jack's kid? If so dude must be ripped.

It was cool that one time when Adam Jones told the Orioles no, I'm not going to Philly for a middling shot at the playoffs. #athleteempowerment
Cleveland plays the Angels in Anaheim in 3 weeks, so Adell can say hello from the other side to his former teammates
Kevin Gausman said last week he had no idea of his fate nor what route the #BlueJays might go, and noted, "I wouldn't be surprised if we were buyers." Turns out he was right - but he's also gone. Wild couple days.
The New York Yankees have the best run differential in the AL. No. 2? The Detroit Tigers, just 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot. Sounds like a good time to get rid of the franchise player.
Yordan Alvarez is approaching "if he gets hit by a bus tomorrow, he's still the AL MVP" territory.
Tarik Skubal is a Dodger, not because they lavished money on him, but because the Tigers chose to send him there, and Detroit believed L.A. had the most to offer in return. Funny how it always seems to work out that way. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Christian Encarnacion-Strand's walk-up song is titled "Hard Work and Holy Water."
Mike Elias has now traded DL Hall, Grayson Rodriguez and Dean Kremer, all big league arms inherited from the previous regime. #Orioles
just a strange level of commitment investing in a Taylor Ward City Connect jersey.
It's a "razor-wire" MLB trade deadline, says #Orioles prez Mike Elias. And his "open mind" toward trade talks extends to the bell cow of this Orioles era - Adley Rutschman. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Orioles GM 'open-minded' as trade deadline looms. That includes Adley Rutschman.
Adley Rutschman, now a three-time All-Star, has emerged as a trade candidate as the Orioles’ run of uneven play has stretched on for three seasons.

The Tigers are breaking up. Jake Rogers didn't get a chance to say goodbye.
The Detroit Tigers are breaking apart, bit by bit; backup catcher Jake Rogers perhaps giving way to franchise icon Tarik Skubal.

#Orioles president Mike Elias said the team would love to keep Adley Rutschman as long as possible, but club’s performance is forcing them to keep all options on the table. Says their deadline stance remains “game-to-game,” a “razor wire” that will likely continue all the way to Monday’s deadline.
