Orioles news: The ALCS is all evened up

The Tampa Bay Rays leveled the American League Championship Series at 1-1 following a 3-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday. Starter Freddy Peralta tossed six scoreless innings, supported by a three-run fourth inning and a save by Bryan Baker. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers hold a 2-0 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, with Dave Roberts confirming Shohei Ohtani will remain in the starting lineup despite an ongoing postseason slump.

For the Baltimore Orioles, the front office is preparing for an offseason clouded by the expiration of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement on December 1. Analysis from Roch Kubatko suggests first baseman Ryan Mountcastle could be considered as a potential trade candidate ahead of his $7.5 million club option. Additionally, prospects Luis De León, Michael Forret, and Enrique Bradfield Jr. have been highlighted as potential contributors for 2027.
