The Orioles just pulled off a savvy trade, acquiring veteran catcher Jake Rogers from Detroit in exchange for minor league pitcher Zane Barnhart. With star catchers Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo sidelined by injuries, Rogers steps in to provide much-needed power at the plate — despite a recent slump, he’s shown he can hit for homers, especially last year. Rogers, drafted by Houston and once part of Mike Elias’s Astros org, brings experience and a fresh chapter to Baltimore. He’s expected to replace either Chadwick Tromp or Yohel Pozo on the roster. The move signals Baltimore’s push toward the playoffs as they look to add more pieces before the deadline, with Rutschman and Basallo’s return still uncertain.
