Orioles Eye Trade Deadline Buys Despite Sub-.500 Record
A late surge including a sweep of Houston has Baltimore within striking distance of the AL Wild Card, prompting potential deadline activity.
The Orioles enter the second half three games below .500 but only three games behind the Red Sox for the final AL Wild Card spot. A four-game win streak before the All-Star break and a sweep of the Astros to open the second half have revived contention hopes. Baltimore halted Boston's 15-game win streak on Wednesday. President of operations Mike Elias is reportedly weighing whether to be a buyer at the trade deadline.
