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.

Bryan Baker turned to watch the flight of another baseball heading for the center field fence. He stood with his hand on his hip, certain of the outcome. Pete Alonso knew it, too, carrying his bat most of the way to first base before flipping it in celebration.

It took only four batters for the Orioles’ promising night to spiral into a tailspin, ending in a 7-6 loss to the Mets in 10 innings.

The usually reliable Baker allowed four runs without getting an out and the O’s couldn’t muster any offense in the 9th or 10th as New York scored a come-from-behind win.
