ARLINGTON, Texas – The Orioles haven’t hosted baseball’s All-Star Game since 1993, the second year of Camden Yards' existence. Back when they wanted to show it off to the world. They’re on the radar again, which promises nothing but keeps them in the conversation. Commissioner Rob Manfred said this morning that the club has “definitely” expressed a

The mystery that couldn’t be s

Kyle Finnegan is an All-Star after all. Finnegan was added to the National League’s squad late this afternoon, replacing Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley barely more than 24 hours before first pitch of the Midsummer Classic in Arlington, Texas, and after all the other players already held their media availabilities at Globe Life Field.
