Though the approach has been somewhat methodical, the Nationals have addressed their most obvious needs so far this winter. They acquired a first baseman and a designated hitter, hopefully adding more power to a lineup that sorely needs it. They acquired one experienced starting pitcher and re-acquired another, giving them rotation depth with at le

The Orioles have decisions to make about their rotation beyond whether they try tapping into the trade market for an ace and the order of it. A few reasons exist to consider a six-man setup. A few others make it unlikely as camp breaks. Signing free agents Tomoyuki Sugano and Charlie Morton to one-year deals broadened a crowd that already included

It’s rare for a player to be traded away and then return to that same team later in his career. It's even rarer still for that to happen and the player becomes teammates with the players he was once traded to acquire. That will be the case when Josh Bell reports to West Palm Beach for the second time in his career next month. He’ll be back in the c

This is a bit random today and not related to any recent signings or O’s news at all. But today, just for the heck of it, I take a look at some random individual stats from the 2024 season. Some may be surprising, many will probably not. But in a game filled with stats - traditional, advanced and otherwise - here are a few more today. In most cases

More mail got stuck in the bag. Lucky for me. We’ve got more content this morning. You asked and I eventually was able to answer. Enjoy your leftovers. Is there any indication the Orioles are going to add to the bullpen? It's been completely silent on that front.This is what happens when I wait to share the leftovers. I was gonna write that the Ori

The Nationals made the sixth addition to their major league roster in the last month Saturday afternoon. The team announced signing reliever Jorge López to a one-year deal, adding the former All-Star closer to the back end of the bullpen. López, who turns 32 in February, will earn $3 million plus incentives this year, a source confirmed. The New Yo

The Washington Nationals agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Jorge López on a one-year contract and designated right-handed pitcher Amos Willingham for assignment on Saturday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement. López, 31, joins the Nationals after he went 2-3 with a 2.89 ERA, 50 st

The initial reaction for many to the Nationals and Nathaniel Lowe filing for arbitration Thursday night was one of incredulity. This is really how they’re going to treat their biggest offseason acquisition, by haggling over money and taking him to court? It’s admittedly not a great look when a team can’t work out a contract with any player and has

The Orioles one-year agreement with a club option with right-handed pitcher Andrew Kittredge made the team's strength a bit stronger. The bullpen looks pretty good with a clear eight you would project today to start the year in the bullpen. That eight includes the club welcoming back All-Star closer Félix Bautista. From the right side, there is als

Are the Orioles finished with their roster retooling? Is it safe to post a mock and avoid jumping back into it for revisions? Camp doesn’t open for about five weeks. Stretch the hamstrings and be prepared to jump. The Orioles aren’t guaranteeing another free agent signing or a trade before pitchers and catchers report. However, they aren’t shut dow
