This is it, folks. After today’s game, we will be able to officially declare the winner of the Trevor Rogers trade. Mark it down!
The Orioles left-hander will toe the rubber against his former team for the first time, just under a year after the Marlins traded him to the Birds for Kyle Stowers and Connor Norby. The deal, which was lambasted by O’s fans after Rogers’s four-start catastrophe in 2024, is looking a whole lot better for Baltimore now. But the Marlins probably don’t have any regrets, as the newly minted All-Star Stowers has erupted for a breakout season with Miami, while Norby has given the Fish some stability at third base if not a particularly potent bat so far.
