Next month, it seems likely that he won't be with the Orioles anymore, as Kazuhiro Senga has a firm stance regarding the trade rumors.

The Baltimore Orioles started Japanese pitcher Kazuhiro Senga today; he pitched 3.2 innings, allowing 4 runs, and ultimately, the team lost 5-10 to the Cleveland Guardians. Given the team's current poor performance, sitting at the bottom of the AL East standings, Senga is considered likely to leave Baltimore before the trade deadline. In response, he clearly stated in a post-game interview today that he does not wish to leave the Orioles.

In the game against the Guardians today, the Orioles sent Senga to the mound as the starter. Although his teammates provided him with 3 runs of support in the first inning, he quickly gave those runs back in the bottom of the first, allowing a three-run homer from José Ramirez. In the second inning, he faced more trouble, giving up two hits and issuing a walk to load the bases, but fortunately, he managed to record three outs in a row, avoiding further scoring.

Senga's pitching performance today was not ideal, as he threw 90 pitches over 3.2 innings, recording 4 strikeouts and 4 walks, while giving up 6 hits and 4 runs (3 earned). After he left the game, his ERA rose to 4.54. Despite the team leading 5-4 before his exit, the three relievers who followed him all allowed runs, leading to the Orioles' eventual turnaround loss, finishing at 5-10.

After losing this game, the Orioles now have a record of 44 wins and 55 losses, sitting at the bottom of the AL East. With the trade deadline approaching, the front office must decide whether to sell players. Senga, who signed a one-year short contract with the Orioles, has been named multiple times as a potential trade candidate. However, in today's interview, he expressed his desire not to leave, stating, "I have never thought about that. I want to win with this team and understand how important today's game was. I have always hoped to play here for a long time."
