FORT MYERS, Fla. - Bryce Harper finally has selected his new home. He's going to Philadelphia. For a really long time. Harper agreed to terms today with the Phillies on a 13-year, $330 million contract, according to a source familiar with the deal. The contract, which is pending a physical, includes no opt-out clauses and guarantees he'll play in Philadelphia through the 2031 season, when he'll be 39 years old. Fancred's Jon Heyman was first to report the signing. The deal also means the...

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Dylan Bundy can joke about his poor spring debuts. With his new manager, Brandon Hyde, and anyone else within earshot. He didn't add to his legacy today, allowing one run over two innings against the Phillies at Spectrum Field. Bundy surrendered four hits, but the damage was minimal. The Phillies loaded the bases with no outs in the second and settled for the one run on Austin Listi's sacrifice fly. "You don't want that to happen during the season, so yeah, get them out...

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Max Scherzer wasn't the only veteran who made the long trip across Alligator Alley for today's game against the Red Sox. Matt Adams is here as well. And like Scherzer, he's making the most of it. Batting cleanup and starting at first base, Adams launched a second-inning home run that cleared the stands down the right field line and departed jetBlue Park altogether. He added an RBI double down the right field line in the top of the third, helping the Nationals open up a 5-0...

SARASOTA, Fla. - ESPN broadcaster Kevin Brown is joining the Orioles Radio Network in 2019, serving as a play-by-play announcer for about 50 games this season. Brown's hiring comes on the heels of Joe Angel's retirement after 19 seasons as the radio play-by-play voice of the Orioles. Angel spent more than four decades calling major league games, including two World Series, 44 postseason games and seven no-hitters. Brown currently serves as a play-by-play commentator on ESPN's coverage of...

The Orioles today announced the broadcast team for the 2019 season for MASN, the Orioles Radio Network, and Orioles and MASN digital platforms. The talent lineup includes the return of several veteran broadcasters, increased roles for familiar faces, new additions to the broadcast team, and the retirement of a radio legend. Longtime broadcaster Joe Angel will retire after 19 seasons as the "Voice of the Orioles" on the Orioles Radio Network. Angel spent more than four decades calling Major...

FORT MYERS, Fla. - If there is a significant competition in Nationals camp this spring, it's in center field, with top prospect Victor Robles trying to prove he's ready for the starting job ahead of the erratic Michael A. Taylor. And though it's too early for any hard decisions about the fate of that competition, manager Davey Martinez pointed out today what's probably the understood truth but might get overlooked by those wanting to see one of the two seize the job. "Here's the deal with...

CLEARWATER, Fla. - The Orioles scratched Nate Karns from Friday night's start in Tampa due to "general arm soreness," according to manager Brandon Hyde. Left-hander John Means is taking Karns' spot and will face the Yankees in a split-squad game. Alex Cobb pitches the day game against the Rays in Sarasota. "We want to be careful with it," Hyde said. "Just going to push him back a couple days, maybe throw a side instead on Sunday and then kind of go back on his routine from there. But...

CLEARWATER, Fla. - The Orioles have adjusted their spring starters this week, listing left-hander John Means to start Friday night's split-squad game against the Yankees in Tampa. Nate Karns had been the listed starter, with Alex Cobb pitching in the day game against the Rays at Ed Smith Stadium. However, Karns no longer is slated to face the Yankees. Mike Wright is starting Saturday against the Red Sox in Fort Myers. No starters are listed for Sunday against the Tigers in Sarasota or Monday...

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Hello from jetBlue Park, aka "Fenway South." And we've got a matchup today worthy of the real Fenway Park, with Max Scherzer going up against the Red Sox. It's unconventional for a star pitcher like Scherzer to make such a long road trip (2 1/2 hours each way), but like Patrick Corbin earlier this week in Lake Buena Vista, Scherzer wanted to do it and stay on his regular pitching schedule. So he'll likely go three innings and about 50 pitches, going up against several...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Dylan Bundy makes his first spring start today as the Orioles return to the road to play the Phillies in Clearwater. Austin Hays is leading off and playing center field again. Chris Davis is on the trip and batting third. Yusniel Diaz is batting cleanup and playing right field. Jace Peterson moves to third base. Rule 5 pick Drew Jackson is the designated hitter. Austin Wynns is catching. For the Orioles Austin Hays CF Jonathan Villar 2B Chris Davis 1B Yusniel Diaz RF Joey...
