Right-hander Roansy Contreras is on the move again this offseason, with the Orioles being his fifth organization since 2024. The Orioles claimed Contreras on waivers from the Reds this afternoon. He’s out of minor league options and could report to spring training trying to compete for a bullpen spot. Contreras, 25, split the past season between th

Having a big season for an MLB player can be a blessing or a curse. Not really a curse, like selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees cursed the Red Sox all those years, but maybe burden is the right word. Now fans and perhaps even team management expect more of the same. For Orioles center field Cedric Mullins, his magical 2021 season now looks like an ou

We are, believe it or not, five weeks away from spring training. The holiday season is over, we're well into January and Nationals pitchers and catchers are starting to make plans to report to West Palm Beach, Fla. After an awfully slow start to their offseason, the Nats have made a decent amount of news here recently. They've now acquired five maj

To hear new O’s pitcher Charlie Morton tell it, he has essentially had two different careers. One as a pitch-to-contact pitcher and one going for and getting many more strikeouts. The second stage of this career, which began with his age 33 season with Houston in 2017, was a real turning point. It has led to more durability, more swing and miss, tw

The Orioles must reach agreements with their unsigned arbitration-eligible players later today or exchange salary figures. Hearings will be held between Jan. 27 and Feb. 14. A panel will choose one of the two figures. There are no compromises. We’ve learned that there are exceptions to the club’s file-and-go philosophy. Corner infielder Emmanuel Ri
