Leading Off

The Orioles traded Adley Rutschman to the Red Sox. An unserious move by an unserious team.

At least the Drink of the Week is back?

**** this ****

The Orioles were sellers at the 2026 trade deadline. They did a few things that didn’t move the needle for ran reaction, but let’s not bury the lede: they traded Adley Rutschman to the Red Sox.

And fans are… pretty pissed. And we are fans. And we are pretty pissed.

So there’s no Around the Bases this week. There’s no cute segment structure. There’s no analysis of the return we got for the various moves. This one is just some bloodletting. We get the frustrations out.

**** this ****.

Blowing the Save

Most podcasts try to end on a high note – the perfect coda to a quality program. That’s just not our style. Each week, we’ll end on a weak note, blowing the save with an item that didn’t quite fit into the episode, or something they simply need to get off their chests. It’s our version of taking the ball and pulling a Kevin Gregg.
