What can be expected of the Orioles this week? Maybe the unexpected, like when they didn’t select a player in last year’s Rule 5 draft and made a huge splash by signing closer Craig Kimbrel to a $13 million contract for the 2024 season. With the 24th pick in this year’s Rule 5, the Orioles most likely will pass again rather than try to carry a play

The Orioles found their right-handed hitting outfielder. The club is signing Tyler O’Neill to a three-year contract worth $49.5 million, according to a source. The deal, which becomes official after he passes a physical, includes an opt-out after 2025. This is the first multi-year free-agent contract since Mike Elias joined the front office, though

For Orioles lefty Trevor Rogers, the key to getting some velocity back and hopefully his previous big league form with it could come from his legs. During this previous interview here with Rogers, he said weight room work will be big for him this winter. And that he learned via trips to Driveline Baseball in Phoenix, that his lower body strength wa

The work required to build the 26-man roster for Opening Day is a long way from completion. The surface hasn’t even been scratched. At least one starter and reliever, a right-handed bat – likely for the outfield – and a backup catcher bring boxes that still need checking. The Orioles are on the clock but the ticking isn’t really that loud. Plenty o

The Orioles have made the following roster move: RHP Thaddeus Ward has cleared outright waivers and been assigned to Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles’ 40-man roster currently has 37 players.

The Orioles have hired a new manager at Triple-A Norfolk. Tim Federowicz will be the replacement for Buck Britton, who joined the Orioles’ staff as major league coach. He managed the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens in the Tigers’ system this summer. Federowicz, 37, served as the Tigers’ catching coach in 2023 after managing the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers in

It's been a slow offseason to date, to say the least. The World Series ended more than a month ago, and the Nationals have yet to acquire a major league player, whether via free agency or trade. The good news: There are still more than two months to go before pitchers and catchers report to West Palm Beach, Fla. And there are tons of available unsi

We got more evidence last night that while the Orioles are very aware that their offense fell off big late last season, they still see an overall good offense and one that does not need a major change or overhaul. We are talking about individuals working to make their own improvements, helping the team improve. A Baltimore offense that ranked fourt
