NEW YORK -- Those left in the visitors' clubhouse at Yankee Stadium spent the afternoon saying goodbye, with hugs and handshakes to Kevin Gausman and Jonathan Schoop, with texts to Darren O'Day, the last in a wave of veterans traded over the past two weeks. Then the Orioles had a game to play, with both eyes set squarely on the future.
It was with this as a backdrop that Baltimore embarked on the next phase of its full-on rebuild, which figures to feature games like Tuesday night's 6-3 loss to the Yankees.
