With the All-Star break now in the rearview mirror, Baltimore Orioles fans are left in something of a quandary as they slog through the 2025 season’s second half. Can the season still be salvaged with the American League East cellar-dwelling O’s somehow stringing together enough wins to climb into the wild card race? Or might it be better to root for continued mediocrity and thus have no regrets if the Orioles trade away a big name like Cedric Mullins or Ryan O’Hearn (or certain other high-profile players with the initials GH or AR) before the July 31 deadline to rebuild for the future? It’s tough enough to keep up with the Federal Reserve, the future of artificial intelligence and Vladimir Putin.
