The year 2025 is upon us. Break out the resolutions and other promises that will be broken like a hockey player’s front teeth. I usually avoid them but figured I’d come up with a list and invite everyone here to share their own. They can be personal and professional. They can be Orioles related. They can come back to bite you now that they’re docum

We’ve reached the final week of the year, so it’s time to look back at the Nationals’ most significant stories of 2024.

How much does Heston Kjerstad play in 2025? A path isn’t completely cleared for Kjerstad but he’s got room. The Orioles let Anthony Santander walk in free agency but they signed

Turns out the Nationals didn’t replace Trevor Williams with Michael Soroka as it briefly appeared, because they decided to re-sign the veteran right-hander after all.

The young

Rather than ask (beg?) for more mailbag questions, I decided today to pose a few of my own. Here are three for you to consider. Share your answers. If the Orioles don’t acquire a No. 1 starter, should Zach Eflin or Grayson Rodriguez start on Opening Day? Eflin has the edge in experience and track record. He’s also good, so the assignment wouldn’t b
