Adley Rutschman (C - BOS)
8/4/26 3:56 PM - Trading Rutschman could help the Orioles, but it's a sign of how badly their plans went awry. Trading Adley Rutschman may work out for the Baltimore Orioles in the long run, but it still signaled just how badly the franchise's plans have gone awry. They acquired three of Boston’s top five prospects, according to MLB.com. Fans generally understand the logic of dealing a player who might become a free agent in the next year or two. But what makes this trade harder to stomach is the year and a half of failure that led up to it. Seven years after drafting Rutschman with the top overall pick, the Orioles have one division title and one wild card to show for it. They're in danger of finishing under .500 for a second straight season.
