Orioles approach trade deadline amid speculation and struggles

As the 2026 MLB trade deadline approaches today at 6 PM, the Baltimore Orioles face uncertainty. After an 8-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in their final game before the deadline, the team remains 2.5 games out of a wild card spot. General manager Mike Elias is expected to consider trades for players likely to depart after the season, though the team's recent performance raises questions about their direction. Speculation includes potential trades for Trevor Rogers and Taylor Ward, while future moves could be complicated by the status of injured players like Adley Rutschman. Elias's previous decisions at the deadline are influencing current strategies.
