On The Wire Episode 266 — FAAB 25 (Sunday, September 6, 2026)Adam and Kevin work through a roster-expansion-heavy news day — IL moves, call-ups, and DFAs across the Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, Pirates, Cubs, Angels, Mets, Dodgers, Orioles, Padres, Nationals, and Mariners — before getting into hitters (power, speed, opportunity) and pitchers (volume, ratios, saves) with only three FAAB periods left in the season. A recurring theme is stat-category tunnel vision down the stretch: drop anyone you can't use this week, target cellar-dwelling offenses like the Angels for pitching streams, and pick your spots by ballpark and schedule rather than name value. Kevin closes with a reminder to map out matchups two to three weeks ahead and start trimming bench pitchers you won't actually use.Welcome and News 0:00-15:00Yankees place Trent Grisham on the IL with a hamstring injury, call up Jasson Domínguez, as Aaron Judge nears a return next weekPlayers Discussed: Trent Grisham, Jasson Domínguez, Aaron Judge, Spencer Jones, George Lombard Jr.Yankees keep rolling three catchers with no clear timeshare changePlayers Discussed: Austin Wells, Alí Sánchez, Ben RiceRed Sox activate Trevor Story and Roman Anthony, option Anthony Seigler and Mickey Gasper, then bring Gasper right back up when Wilson Contreras hits the ILPlayers Discussed: Trevor Story, Roman Anthony, Anthony Seigler, Mickey Gasper, Willson ContrerasRays lose Shane McClanahan to the IL again with forearm tightness, and closer Bryan Baker exits Friday's outing with an illness scare as Tyler Wells covers the savePlayers Discussed: Shane McClanahan, Bryan Baker, Tyler WellsPirates activate rookie Konnor Griffin, DFA Christian Bethancourt to make roomPlayers Discussed: Konnor Griffin, Christian BethancourtCubs lose Ben Brown for the rest of the season with a neck injury, with Edward Cabrera nearing a return for bullpen dutyPlayers Discussed: Ben Brown, Edward Cabrera, Matthew Boyd, Colin Rea, Kevin Gausman, Jameson Taillon, Clay Holmes, Jacob Webb, Daniel PalenciaAngels' Luis Rengifo out for the season with an ACL tear and MCL sprainPlayers Discussed: Luis RengifoMets tentatively hoping Jonah Tong returns for a rotation spot start next week, with a possible two-start week to followPlayers Discussed: Jonah TongMore News 15:00-35:00Dodgers get healthy all at once — call up Alex Freeland, activate Will Smith, Justin Wrobleski, and Dalton Rushing off the IL, and DFA Alek Thomas and Ben RortvedtPlayers Discussed: Alex Freeland, Will Smith, Justin Wrobleski, Dalton Rushing, Alek Thomas, Ben RortvedtShohei Ohtani working back from a few days off as Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland's emergence lets Tommy Edman slide to the outfield, and Hunter Feduccia (not Rushing) backs up Will SmithPlayers Discussed: Shohei Ohtani, Miguel Rojas, Alex Freeland, Tommy Edman, Hunter Feduccia, Will Smith, Dalton Rushing, Enrique HernándezOrioles claim Luis Robert Jr. Jr. off waivers from the Mets and add Heston Kjerstad, crowding an already deep outfieldPlayers Discussed: Luis Robert Jr., Heston Kjerstad, Colton Cowser, Dylan BeaversPadres call up catching phenom Ethan Salas as part of their roster expansionPlayers Discussed: Ethan Salas, Freddy Fermin, Luis CampusanoNationals call up power-hitting prospect Yohandy Morales, muddying the first base/DH picturePlayers Discussed: Yohandy Morales, Abimelec Ortiz, Andrés ChaparroMariners finally call up top prospect Lazaro Montes as rosters expandPlayers Discussed: Lazaro MontesEmerson Hancock hits the IL, Nick Davila is recalled to the bullpen, and Bryce Miller gets another rotation look over Ryan SloanPlayers Discussed: Emerson Hancock, Nick Davila, Bryce Miller, Ryan SloanMontes has started three of his first five games and appears to be pushing Taylor Ward into the short side of a platoonPlayers Discussed: Lazaro Montes, Taylor WardFAAB Recommendations, Hitters 35:00-45:00Power (RBI, HR)Players Discussed: Lazaro Montes, Mickey Gasper, Sean Murphy, Andy Ibáñez, Shay WhitcombSpeed (R, SB)Players Discussed: Dustin Harris, Richie Palacios, Tyler TolbertOpportunity (AB, AVG)Players Discussed: Dane Myers, Carlos Cortes, Denzel Clarke, Jeff McNeilFAAB Recommendations, Pitchers 45:00-1:00:00Volume (W, K)Players Discussed: Cade Cavalli, Taj Bradley, Bailey Ober, Joe Ryan, Quinn Mathews, Connor Prielipp, Grayson Rodriguez, Jack Kochanowicz, Andre PallanteRatios (ERA, WHIP)Players Discussed: Nate Lavender, Brooks Raley, Brock Stewart, Edgardo HenriquezClosers (Saves)Players Discussed: Calvin Faucher, Hunter Gaddis, Cade Smith, Kenley Jansen, Justin Martinez, Juan Morillo, Brandyn GarciaWild Card and Closing Advice 1:00:00-1:05:00Wild card stash: Adael Amador's shortened, more compact swing in Colorado's ten-game homestandPlayers Discussed: Lazaro Montes, Adael AmadorMap out schedules two weeks aheadJoin Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Headlines and lineup issues… We were just as mad as everyone else when Laz Montes was left out of yesterday's lineup as the Mariners continue to rely too heavily on matchups. Taylor Ward hasn't brought anything to this team in the month he's been here and Laz not only had a good debut, but he brought a lot of energy to a team that needs it too. :30- SOFTY begins his Thursday visits for the first time this Husky season and he's got a new gig to talk about! - Is it weird to have the Apple Cup on a Sunday? - Fisch has a lot of freshmen in the Dawgs lineup this weekend, how does Softy feel about that? - Softy's got a lot of confidence in this team! :45- Whoah! The NBA handed down one heck of a punishment to the LA Clippers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a second time I am joined by Taylor Ward of the LA Kings. The last time Taylor was on the podcast, he was a college hockey player at the University of Nebraska Omaha.
The Orioles subtracted Taylor Ward from the lineup last week and replaced him with a AAA player from the Nationals instead of guys like Heston Kjerstad and Enrique Bradfield.
The Orioles got quiet the haul in return for Adley Rutschman. Are those prospects worthy of the hype? What about some of the other returns the O's got for Taylor Ward and Tyler Wells? Keith Law has all the answers.
The Orioles entered the final day of the trade deadline just 2.5 games out of a Wild Card spot and, instead of making a run, sold off Adley Rutschman, Taylor Ward, Dean Kremer and Tyler Wells for a solid haul of prospects. The trades themselves weren't necessarily the problem. The problem was waving the white flag with what largely amounts to AAAA replacements on a team still within striking distance of October . The offense responded by going ice cold, scoring just 11 runs in six games before suddenly exploding for 10 today in a 10-5 win over Texas to pull within two games of a playoff spot. Naturally, that means they probably won't score again until Wednesday. That's Orioles baseball. Dillon Atkinson fills in for a vacationing Zach as we try to make sense of a deadline that ended the season while the standings say it's still very much alive. That and more on The Bat Around.
Reds pitcher Hunter Greene heads back to the injured list with right elbow soreness and an upcoming specialist visit. Joe Bond breaks down today's Rankings Movers and delivers the FanDuel Bet of the Day taking Cleveland Under 3.5 runs.

Meanwhile, Kyle Schwarber, Eugenio Suarez, Francisco Alvarez, Eury Perez, Will Warren, and Paul Skenes headline today's duds. Rankings Movers: Jackson Merrill, Chandler Simpson, Royce Lewis, CJ Abrams, Kevin Gausman, Troy Melton, and Taj Bradley lead the risers. On the fallers side, Brandon Marsh, Taylor Ward, Kyle Bradish, Emmet Sheehan, Michael King, and Paul Sewald continue to trend down.

Hard Knocks debuted last night, so what did we think? No, it's not as gritty and in-depth as it used to be, but as Seahawks fans we loved it. From the relationships between Mike and his players to Nick Emmanwori's injury and Spoon's contract, we got to see it all! :30- Mariners Morning After Last night was an ugly 8-0 loss to the Tigers and proof that great pitching beats great mediocre hitting as the Mariners managed just 4 hits against Troy Melton and the Tigers bullpen. We had some high hopes for this lineup, but knew it was going to be tough against Melton. Tonight's pitching matchup should be better for our offense… fingers crossed. :45- Is Sam Darnold getting disrespected because his defense and special teams are so good?

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott dissect a trade deadline that produced more shrugs than shockwaves, debating whether the Mariners actually bought or simply trimmed payroll.

Did the Baltimore Orioles throw in the towel on the 2026 season on Monday? Probably. But as Luke Jones and Nestor point out, this current project of Mike Elias isn't working at any level and the haul for Adley Rutschman plus the other deals with Dean Kremer, Taylor Ward and Tyler Wells have certainly disgusted what's left the of Orioles fan base. Another selloff; different ownership. Does anyone know what they're doing at The Warehouse? The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the disgust of Orioles fans in aftermath on another selloff first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.
Time for a Tuesday edition of Glenn Clark Radio, and a post-trade deadline Tuesday at that. The boys will react to all the moves the Orioles made, dealing Adley to the Red Sox, sending Tyler Wells to Tampa and Taylor Ward being shipped back West to Seattle. We'll dive deep into what all these moves mean, what's next for the O's and Mike Elias's future. At 11:20am, we are going to check in with the great Buck Showalter, get his thoughts on the trade of Adley Rutschman, Mike Elias and the Orioles in general as we get his reaction to the trade deadline. Then at 11:50am, we will chat with Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline to learn a little more about the prospects the Orioles received in the Adley deal and talk about their farm system as a whole after adding a bit more fire power.

Tim Barbalace and Cordell Woodland continue to react to all things MLB Trade Deadline, including a focus on the Baltimore Orioles and if they made the right decision to sell, after shipping Adley Rutschman to the Red Sox, and Taylor Ward to the Mariners.
The Orioles gave us one of the most exhilarating weeks of the season, and one of the most confusing. They took two of three from Detroit behind an epic comeback that may go down as the greatest in franchise history considering the stakes, followed it up with another dramatic comeback win over the Phillies, and then immediately crashed back to reality with consecutive shutout losses. Add in the surprising trade of Dean Kremer for an A-ball outfielder, mounting rumors involving Adley Rutschman, Taylor Ward, and Trevor Rogers, and a front office that has remained quiet while the rest of the American League arms race intensifies, and Baltimore enters the trade deadline just two-and-a-half games out of a playoff spot with more questions than answers. Tonight, we'll try to make sense of where this team stands with less than 24 hours until the deadline. That and more on The Bat Around.
