The Orioles started their September with a nice rebound series by sweeping the Padres - a definite playoff team - in San Diego. Good work! More tough teams are coming, with 16/22 remaining games against contenders. Also in this episode, Mark foolishly looks at some free agent pitching targets as if the O's might spend real money on someone good.

When you get down to it, a team that disappoints as hard as the Orioles have done in 2025 should be bending over backwards to keep fans in the fold. Instead, the Orioles are implementing aggressive season ticket plan changes that may act to drive away a lot of old 13-game holders. Mark is quite unhappy about the decisions.

Watching a bunch of guys who have no business being near an MLB mound get blown out in Philadelphia has not filled Mark with excitement for next season. The Orioles have chosen this time to send out season ticket info where it seems like they're squeezing fans yet again. It's not great! In the mailbag, another lament about a lack of Orioles contract extensions.

The Orioles traded two outfielders away at the trade deadline, so you'd think that means they're calling up their hot-hitting AAA outfielder Dylan Beavers. Instead, Mike Elias has Jordyn Adams and Dylan Carlson on the roster and had Jeremiah Jackson playing OF in Chicago. Mark is grumpy about this. In the mailbag, assessing pitching depth and Elias's 2026 outlook.

There are three days to go until the trade deadline and unless Mike Elias made late night trades after this recording, the Orioles have only dealt two guys in July. Mark is anxious to get the dealing over with so everyone can start to look towards building the best possible 2026 O's team.

The Orioles did not start a miracle winning streak right out of the All-Star break, so it's settled: They're sellers. With ten days to the deadline, Mark tries to read recent Mike Elias tea leaves to figure out if post-2026 free agents are on the table. From the mailbag, a listener asks if a prospect is promoted after the trade deadline, is the rest of the season enough time to prove himself?
