Gregory Soto is just the latest domino for an Orioles team expected to keep selling at the trade deadline. Here are five takeaways from the deal.

The Orioles will be operating as sellers ahead of Thursday’s Trade Deadline. It became even more evident with the move they made Friday afternoon.

Soto is the second reliever Baltimore has dealt this month, with right-hander Bryan Baker having been traded to the Tampa Bay Rays. The return for Baker, a competitive balance round-A pick, turned into outfielder Slater de Brun, whom Baltimore signed Thursday with an over-slot $4 million bonus.
