Orioles consider trade for Giants pitcher Robbie Ray before deadline

The Baltimore Orioles are exploring a trade for San Francisco Giants pitcher Robbie Ray ahead of the deadline. Currently, the Orioles sit six games below.500 but remain competitive in the postseason race, seeking to bolster their starting rotation. Ray, a former AL Cy Young Award winner, has struggled this season with a 4.42 ERA but has shown flashes of his potential, allowing two or fewer runs in eight starts. The Giants are expected to be sellers, making this a viable trade option for Baltimore as they aim to strengthen their pitching staff.
