Trade talk with Adam Jones, frustration for Alex Cobb and more

Trade talk with Adam Jones, frustration for Alex Cobb and more
Orioles center fielder Adam Jones called it "uncommon territory." He was talking about trade rumors and his name being involved with them. After Manny Machado was traded, so was Zach Britton. Now the Orioles center fielder could be next. He's patrolled center for the Orioles since the 2008 season, when he played in a lineup that included Ramón Hernández, Kevin Millar, Brian Roberts, Luke Scott, Melvin Mora, Nick Markakis and Aubrey Huff. Jones was just 22. Among active players in most...

One run short: Tampa Bay takes series opener 4-3 (quotes added)

One run short: Tampa Bay takes series opener 4-3 (quotes added)
The Orioles offense didn't get much going yet again. Right-hander Alex Cobb pitched pretty well. But the Tampa Bay Rays did just enough against him tonight to produce a 4-3 win over the Orioles in the opener of a four-game series at Oriole Park. The Orioles (29-74) are 1-5 since the All-Star break and 1-2 on this homestand. They have lost eight of 11, 15 of 20 and 22 of the last 28 games. Tampa Bay (53-50) is 10-6 over its past 16 games and 6-4 versus the Orioles for the season. In a 2-2 tie,...

Adam Jones on trade possibility, O's rebuild, staying in center field

Adam Jones on trade possibility, O's rebuild, staying in center field
Orioles center fielder Adam Jones talked at length this afternoon on a variety of topics, including his name coming up in trade talks, the team's current rebuilding effort and if he would move out of center for a younger player. Jones knows now that Manny Machado and Zach Britton have been traded and that he could be next. "It's cool, it's flattering. It's uncommon territory. But its business," he said of his name coming up in the rumor mill. But Jones' situation is different. He holds...

Yusniel Díaz: "It feels good to be the key of this trade"

Yusniel Díaz: "It feels good to be the key of this trade"
BOWIE, Md. - After hitting two homers in the recent All-Star Futures Game and moving into the rankings among the top 50 prospects in baseball, young outfielder Yusniel Díaz was rewarded with a trade. Three days after he blasted a pair of homers for the World Team in the Futures Game, the 21-year-old Cuban-born Díaz was the headline player the Orioles acquired among five minor leaguers as Manny Machdado was sent to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Díaz said it felt strange to be traded but...

Jim Callis and J.J. Cooper weigh in on the Zach Britton deal

Jim Callis and J.J. Cooper weigh in on the Zach Britton deal
The New York Yankees are stockpiling some outstanding bullpen arms. The Orioles are stockpiling prospects. Last night, those teams made a trade that worked for both in that regard. The Orioles traded closer Zach Britton to the Yankees for three pitchers - getting right-handers Dillon Tate and Cody Carroll and left-hander Josh Rogers. The Orioles get two flame-throwers in the deal. Tate throws in the mid-90s, touching 97 and 98 mph. Carroll throws in the mid-to-upper-90s and has touched 101...

O's game blog: Yefry Ramírez faces the Red Sox
The Orioles are 0-4 since the All-Star break and have lost three of those games by two runs or fewer. Tonight they host the first-place Boston Red Sox in the second game of this series and of a seven-game homestand that continues through Sunday. Boston (71-31) has the best record in the majors and has opened a six-game lead over the second-place New York Yankees. Boston last held a lead of bigger than 5 1/2 games atop the American League East in 2016. They were a season-best six games ahead of...

After the Machado trade, the new players are settling in at Bowie

After the Machado trade, the new players are settling in at Bowie
BOWIE, Md. - Getting traded can be difficult for any baseball player. And for the four newest members of the Double-A Bowie Baysox, it has been. But since the Manny Machado trade that took them from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Orioles and from the west coast to the east, they are finally starting to settle in with their new organization. When Machado became a Dodger, four of the five players the Orioles acquired joined the Baysox, led by 21-year-old outfielder Yusniel Díaz from Havana,...

More rebuilding talk and some rotation stats and notes

More rebuilding talk and some rotation stats and notes
When a major league team goes through rebuilding there is some pain to hopefully get to some gain. The Orioles have the first part down. They fell 45 games under .500 last night with a loss to Boston at Camden Yards. They are 28-73 and now 42 ½ games out of first place. They are 19 games out of fourth place. In a race that seems to have captivated some fans, they are three games ahead of Kansas City for baseball's worst record and the prize that goes with that - the top draft pick in...

Kevin Gausman knocked out in fifth as Boston wins (clubhouse quotes)

Kevin Gausman knocked out in fifth as Boston wins (clubhouse quotes)
For the Orioles, the search for the quality start continues. Right-hander Andrew Cashner came one out short Sunday and right-hander Kevin Gausman appeared on his way to one tonight. But a four-run fifth inning intervened. Gausman allowed five runs over 4 2/3 innings as Boston beat the Orioles 5-3 in the start of a seven-game homestand at Oriole Park. In two starts wrapped around the All-Star break, Gausman has allowed 10 runs over 9 2/3 innings. The Orioles played Game No. 101 tonight and they...

O's game blog: The homestand begins against Boston
After three losses in Toronto, the Orioles begin a seven-game homestand tonight. It begins with a three-game series against American League East-leading Boston.

Renato Núñez on his chance to play third base every day for the Orioles

Renato Núñez on his chance to play third base every day for the Orioles
When Manny Machado was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, that opened a spot on the Orioles' 25-man roster. It went to 24-year-old right-handed hitting Renato Núnez, who tonight will start his fourth game at third base since joining the Orioles on Friday in Toronto. The Orioles claimed Núnez off waivers May 13 from Texas after he had been designated for assignment by the Rangers two days earlier. He had gone 6-for-36 (.167) with Texas. The Orioles sent the Valencia,...

Is trade speculation finally wearing on the clubhouse?

Is trade speculation finally wearing on the clubhouse?
On Friday night, the Orioles trailed by five runs in the eighth. They rallied to tie the game and force a tenth inning at Toronto, only to see their defense come up short as they lost via a walk-off. Saturday a walk after the count reached 0-2 followed by an error opened the door for the Blue Jays' winning rally. Sunday the Orioles bullpen gave up a pair of two-run homers in the eighth to blow a three-run lead. Swept away again in Toronto, which yet again this year, is a house of horrors for...

Cashner on getting pulled, Brach on his struggles after loss

Cashner on getting pulled, Brach on his struggles after loss
TORONTO - The Orioles' nightmarish 2018 season continued today - on a day where it looked like they might be headed for a win. The Orioles were 23-4 this year when leading after seven innings. But a three-run advantage in the eighth inning got away, as relievers Brad Brach and Tanner Scott gave up two-run homers in the inning. Toronto stormed back to beat the Orioles 5-4 and sweep this three-game series. They lost twice in the series by one run and have gone 0-7 this season at Rogers Centre....

Blown lead: Homers in eighth rally Blue Jays to 5-4 win, sweep

Blown lead: Homers in eighth rally Blue Jays to 5-4 win, sweep
TORONTO - Seemingly headed to a win to avoid being swept in three straight by Toronto, the Orioles bullpen allowed a pair of two-run homers in the eighth today and a potential win turned into yet another loss. A 4-1 lead was lost and so was another game. Center fielder Randal Grichuk hit a two-run homer off Brad Brach in the eighth. That pulled Toronto within 4-3. Later in the inning Yangervis Solarte blasted a 97 mph Tanner Scott fastball out to left. He hit a 3-1 pitch for his own two-run...

Showalter on the lineup, bullpen and more (game update)
TORONTO - Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is not starting today. But it has nothing to do with either an injury or a trade. When the Orioles played at Rogers Centre in June, Jones started all four games on the turf playing surface. But manager Buck Showalter didn't want him starting all three games in this series. "Just turf," he said. "He took a ball off his foot (on Friday). I figured he'd be as sore if not (more) sore today. We were contemplating (a day off) yesterday. Same with Chris...

O's game blog: Orioles need a win to avoid a sweep
TORONTO - The post-All-Star break portion of the Orioles schedule has not started well. With back-to-back losses in Toronto, they'll need a win today to avoid being swept in three straight. The Orioles lost four straight at Rogers Centre last month by a combined 27-11 score, although two of those losses were by a run in 10 innings. Then they lost 8-7 in 10 innings here Friday and 4-1 yesterday when they were held to five hits and didn't score after the first inning. Toronto (45-52) won...

Notes on rebuilding, a pitcher making an impression and Cashner's return

Notes on rebuilding, a pitcher making an impression and Cashner's return
TORONTO - As the Orioles look to add younger players this year and the rebuilding process really kicks in, the club may have to do even more teaching at the major league level. Young players need to keep learning and developing, even as they play and sometimes take some lumps in the major leagues. "That is one thing that has really changed in the game over the years," manager Buck Showalter said before Saturday's game. "You have do a lot more of that at the major league level because guys...

The O's talk about the inning that led to their latest loss

The O's talk about the inning that led to their latest loss
TORONTO - It was another game where the offense produced little, the defense came up short at times and the starting pitcher did just enough to lose. The Orioles and their fans have seen this more than a few times. The Orioles are 0-6 at Rogers Centre and 28-71 for the season after today's 4-1 loss to Toronto. Three unearned runs in the Blue Jays fourth were big on a day the Orioles had just five hits, went 1-for-4 with runners in scoring position and didn't score after the first inning. The...
