The Aug. 3 Trade Deadline is fast approaching, and with it, potential moves that could shake up the balance of power and playoff races as we enter the regular season stretch run.

BOSTON -- The Orioles were already without Adley Rutschman, who went on the 10-day injured list due to left wrist inflammation on Monday. Now, Baltimore is without the other half of its standout catching duo as well.

It isn't unheard of for high picks in the same Draft class to mimic each other's careers. They start at the same level, are often promoted together, and in some cases, reach The Show in the same year.

And for two of the Orioles' top three selections in the 2025 Draft,

BOSTON -- The two hottest teams in MLB will square off for three games at Fenway Park starting Monday night.

For much of the season, neither the Red Sox nor the Orioles appeared to be legitimate postseason contenders in the American League. But quite a bit has changed of late, and

The hottest team in baseball right now is unquestionably the Boston Red Sox, who have won 13 games in a row for the first time since 1948. A month ago, there was perhaps no team in the sport outside of Queens that seemed more disappointing than the Red

The Orioles’ first-round pick from a year ago just put together the biggest game of his young professional career.

Ike Irish, the 19th pick in the 2025 Draft, collected four hits and six RBIs on Sunday -- both career-highs. It was also the second multi-home-run outing of his career, helping High-A

HOUSTON -- Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo left Sunday’s 5-2 win over the Astros at Daikin Park with right shoulder discomfort after grimacing during a second-inning at-bat.

In the first inning of Sunday’s Orioles-Astros game, Jose Altuve shot a comebacker Young’s way. The right-hander displayed a splendid first touch, softly deflecting the baseball with his right foot.

On Friday, it was an eighth-inning two-run homer from Taylor Ward that propelled them to victory -- their fifth straight win at the time.

Per MLB.com Pipeline's Jim Callis, Booth signed for $7,324,700 -- just $2,500 less than the slot value of the No. 7 overall pick.
