As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Baltimore Orioles are firmly positioned as sellers. Could they end up moving their ace?
Last Tuesday, the Baltimore Orioles activated their ace, John Means, from the 10-day injured list, where he had spent the previous 44 days due to a left shoulder strain. In his return against the Tampa Bay Rays, Means was understandably rusty, allowing five runs and suffering his third loss of the season.
