Orioles Stars Reveal Awkward Story Behind Adley Rutschman Trade
Boston Red Sox catcher Adley Rutschman had an awkward goodbye with his former teammates after being traded on Monday.
On Monday evening, the Baltimore Orioles attempted to distract themselves from the trade deadline by watching "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." Catcher Adley Rutschman, along with teammates Gunnar Henderson, Colton Cowser, and Ryan Mountcastle, were about to enter the theater when Rutschman received the shocking news that he had been traded, according to The Baltimore Sun's Jacob Calvin Meyer.
Instead of watching the film that achieved the highest-grossing domestic opening weekend in history, the Orioles opted to give Rutschman a heartfelt hug and send him off with love and support. "It was pretty emotional," Cowser shared, expressing his feelings. Rutschman was considered one of the most likely trade candidates before the 6 p.m. ET deadline, leading to questions about the team's decision to watch the movie.
Henderson, when questioned about the trade on Tuesday, stated that he could not discuss the matter today, acknowledging the emotional impact of the franchise's star player being sent away, but assured that those affected could take comfort in seeing the new Spider-Man.
