Baltimore, which averaged 96 wins in 2023 and 2024, finished last in the AL East last year and still holds a losing record this season. Key young players like Adley Rutschman and Jackson Holliday have not met expectations. Red Sox prospects Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony are also experiencing inconsistent development.
