That news came less than three hours after we found out that Major League Baseball canceled the remaining spring training games and would start...

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles won't be playing any more spring training games due to coronavirus pandemic, but whether they hold workouts at their facility or head back home is one of the issues that's unresolved. Player representative Chris Davis said there isn't much clarity as the team waits for the next set of instructions. "I think a lot of it is up in the air," he said while again sitting outside the media workroom at the allotted six-foot perimeter. "Hopefully, in the next few days,...

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles boarded two charter buses this afternoon that pulled out of the Ed Smith Stadium complex, bound for Fort Myers and tonight's game against the Twins.

SARASOTA, Fla. - Alex Cobb is throwing his simulated game today on a back field at the Ed Smith Stadium complex, the alternative to having him start tonight against the Twins in Fort Myers. A blister on his pitching hand led to the change in assignments. DJ Stewart, Richie Martin and Renato Núñez are some of the hitters facing Cobb, who's made only one Grapefruit League start but has been throwing simulated games and bullpen sessions to build up innings. The Orioles have two cameras set...
