The deal could signal a sweeping series of sell moves by the O's, who now have seven picks in the top 100 on Sunday.

The Rays might move Taj Bradley before the deadline, with teams like the Astros eyeing pitching help for a deep postseason run.

The Rays made room on the 40-man roster by moving infielder/outfielder Richie Palacios from the 10- to the 60-day injured list. Palacios has missed all but one game between finger and knee injuries, with no timetable to return. Cash said he welcomed Baker’s addition.
