The Orioles went into the playoffs last season as the team to beat, the one team who could be seen as a legitimate giant killer . As it turned out, they were unprepared for the sweeping run that the Texas Rangers were on. But who could blame them? Nobody could withstand the withering Rangers October last year. Bad luck, perhaps. Or bad timing, facing the Rangers just as they were swinging into top gear. But for every upswing, there is a backswing to match it. And for Baltimore, like every other team in the major leagues, that was their rotation. Depth and strength is needed to push them over the hump. In one fell swoop, the Orioles have made themselves not only playoff contenders, but serious challengers for the World Series. Yes, it is way too early to talk about the Fall Classic. Spring training is still a month away and there is many a slip twixt a cup and a lip. New @Orioles ace Corbin Burnes is among great company. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/hGE7yuT8E4 — MLB Stats (@MLBStats) Fe...

After hitting a snag in a proposed trade that would reunite Gary Payton II with the Golden State Warriors, the deal will go through as planned, per The Athletic. The deal was in jeopardy Saturday night after it was report ed that Payton's physical post- trade revealed a core muscle injury that could keep him out for up to three months. Because of that revelation, the Warriors filed a complaint against the Portland Trail Blazers, and the league launched an investigation into the matter. If the Trail Blazers are found to have misled Golden State regarding Payton's Health , they could be punished with a fine and or loss of draft picks, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The initial four-team trade, which was in place prior to the trade deadline on Feb. 9, also included sending James Wiseman to Detroit, Saddiq Bey going to Atlanta and Kevin Knox heading to the Trail Blazers along with five future second-rou...

As a team near the top of the Eastern Conference playoff picture, largely happy with its current rotation and short on moveable assets, the Philadelphia 76ers aren't expected to be major players at the Feb. 9 NBA trade deadline this season. However, that doesn't mean they won't look to upgrade the roster around the edges.
