Andrew Kittredge thought that he knew the Orioles from the opposite bullpen, each and every flaw that allowed his team to dominate them. Then, they underwent a dramatic change. Tables and fortunes were spun. Kittredge spent his first seven seasons with the Rays and registered a 3.65 ERA in 181 games. He made the All-Star team in 2021. And through i

The Baltimore Orioles today announced that MARK FINE will join the organization as the Chief Marketing Officer, and KAMAAL JONES as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel. Fine will lead the marketing, communications, and creative content departments, while Jones will lead all in-house legal and compliance operations for the club. “We are thrilled

It was an eventful holiday weekend. Well, not for the Nationals, who were quiet. But there was no shortage of news elsewhere, in the baseball world, in both the professional and collegiate football world and of course in the world in general. And if you can stomach any more, there’s going to be significant baseball news later today. It’s Hall of Fa

Juan Soto signed with the New York Mets, not only leaving the Orioles' division, but their league too. Corbin Burnes signed with Arizona and Roki Sasaki is a Los Angeles Dodger. But the O’s on Monday saw one of their own sign with another club and also stay in the American League East when outfielder Anthony Santander agreed to a five-year deal wor

Questions and curiosities. The offseason is full of them. Some recent examples include how we’ve pondered whether Zach Eflin or Grayson Rodriguez would be the No. 1 starter as the roster’s currently set, who’s the No. 5 starter, the chances that Jackson Holliday platoons, how much Heston Kjerstad plays, whether the Orioles trade for Luis Castillo,

A quick playoff ouster, similar to the previous October’s sweep in Texas. The consoling hugs, the realization that many teammates wouldn’t be back. He stood at his locker, motionless, and scanned

One of the most joyous days in Nationals history came on a fairly random Saturday afternoon in June 2018. The Nats won that day, defeating the Giants, 7-5. Bryce Harper homered. Gio Gonzalez lasted only 3 1/3 innings, making him ineligible for the win. Five relievers went the rest of the way to close it out, with Sean Doolittle notching the save. T

Hey at least they didn’t get Juan Soto. Somehow the Los Angeles Dodgers, who did get pitchers Roki Sasaki and Tanner Scott in their latest star additions, will have to try and repeat their World Series title without Soto. He went to the New York Mets. But the Dodgers still had a pretty good weekend, getting Sasaki Friday and Scott, the former Oriol

The big free agent reliever name fell off the board yesterday. In predictable fashion, it landed in the Dodgers organization. Former Orioles left-hander Tanner Scott received a four-year, $72 million contract that reportedly will include a $20 million signing bonus and $21 million deferred. The Dodgers already are paying starters Blake Snell $182 m

We’re less than a month away from the start of spring training and there are still plenty of questions swirling around the baseball offseason. As it pertains to the Nationals, we know you still have a lot of questions before the team reports to West Palm Beach next month.
