Trade deadline winners & losers so far, Adley Rutschman returns to Baltimore & what’s up with Shohei Ohtani

On Thursday night, Adley Rutschman made his return to the Baltimore Orioles' home field after being traded to the Boston Red Sox just over a month ago. As an All-Star catcher for the Red Sox, Rutschman has not started off on the best note with his new team. However, during a recent episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, host Jake Mintz and co-host Jordan Shusterman highlighted Rutschman's impressive two-home-run performance against the Orioles, which ultimately led to a 6-5 victory for the Red Sox.

The hosts discussed the team's turnaround this season and emphasized Rutschman's importance to their lineup. Additionally, the podcast examined other players who were traded before the trade deadline, determining which moves proved to be winners and which were losers. The show also addressed the unusual case surrounding Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers' two-way superstar, as he recently had a rare night off due to injuries.

The hosts questioned whether Ohtani's injuries are catching up to him and if the team can prevent him from being sidelined before the postseason. Finally, the hosts concluded with their weekly picks for "The Good, The Bad & The Uggla."
