Named to the American League All-Star break, Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan O'Hearn couldn't use the All-Star break to get away from the trade rumors that have surrounded his name since it became clear that selling was the Orioles' likely direction at the MLB trade deadline. While admitting that the rumors can be a distraction, O'Hearn told reporters that his focus is on saving what many believe to be a lost season for the Orioles.
“It’s hard to ignore, for sure, but I try to stay off my phone as much as possible,” O’Hearn mentioned.
