The Orioles first trade was a 5-for-1 deal that sent shortstop Manny Machado to the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 18. Six days later, the Orioles sent pitcher Zach Britton to the Yankees for three pitchers. On Sunday, pitcher Brad Brach was traded for international signing money. Then yesterday, pitchers Kevin Gausman and Darren O'Day were sent to Atlanta for four players and international money. And second baseman Jonathan Schoop was sent to Milwaukee for three players.
The Orioles have put a...
NEW YORK - The Orioles started last night's series opener against the Yankees with only 23 players on their active roster. They subtracted starter Kevin Gausman and second baseman Jonathan Schoop, and infielder Breyvic Valera didn't show up from Triple-A Norfolk until after the first pitch.
A pitcher will be added before today's game and another move is anticipated Thursday with infielder Jonathan Villar joining the team following yesterday's trade with the Brewers.
Villar can be a useful...
NEW YORK - Adam Jones emerged from the shower area tonight, dressed and waved over the group of media members who were hovering near his locker.
Jones is still with the Orioles and still the guy who attracts the most attention, especially on a day when two teammates were traded and the full rebuild really hit home with the club on the road.
The Orioles had an opportunity to trade Jones to the Phillies, but he didn't want to waive his 10-5 rights - 10 years in the majors, five with the same...
The Nationals rolled to an impressive offensive display for the second consecutive series with a 25-4 win over the Mets last night at Nationals Park.
Last weekend in Miami, the Nats dropped the Marlins 10-3 and 9-1 to begin their four-game series. But on Saturday and Sunday, the club managed just one run in 19 innings in losing two in a row.
First baseman Ryan Zimmerman smacked a two-run homer and a run-scoring single in the rou last nightt, but fully understands his team must find a way to...
It helps when your offense scores 19 runs in your first five innings of work. But it also is important if you are pitching with confidence, again.
Last Wednesday in Milwaukee, right-hander Tanner Roark tossed eight shutout innings for his first win since June 6, a 7-3 defeat of the Brewers at Miller Park. He had lost six straight decisions before breaking through in Wisconsin.
Tuesday night back home, Roark put two solid starts together by firing seven innings, allowing only one run on four...
First, the obvious caveat: What the Nationals did tonight on South Capitol Street has no bearing on what they do Wednesday afternoon on South Capitol Street, or in any other future game in 2018.
We've seen this enough times this season to know there is no such thing as momentum, at least not for this Nationals club.
So just take tonight's events for what they're worth and simply enjoy the fact that a ballclub that has disappointed in so many ways this season and earlier in the day made the...
The Braves, a surprise contender in the National League East, figured to have a conservative approach before Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline.
But now, they're going to take aim at the NL East title with three former Orioles pitchers and an outfielder with 30-home run power.
The Braves acquired Orioles starter Kevin Gausman and two relievers, Darren O'Day and Brad Brach in two separate deals since Sunday.
Gausman joins a rotation that has Anibal Sanchez, Sean Newcomb, Mike Foltynewicz....
NEW YORK - The newer version of the Orioles is losing to the Yankees tonight 6-0, with Miguel Andújar breaking open the game in the fifth inning with a three-run homer off Yefry RamÃrez after Greg Bird's sacrifice fly.
RamÃrez allowed a two-out RBI single to Gleyber Torres in the first inning and Didi Gregorius' run-scoring single in the third after Tim Beckham's error.
Making his first start at Yankee Stadium, RamÃrez allowed six runs and six hits in five innings. He walked...
NEW YORK - Jonathan Schoop is taking his 12-game hitting streak and red-hot July to the Brewers. Kevin Gausman is taking his blazing fastball and enormous potential, which showed itself in spurts, to a Braves team loaded with familiar faces.
Both players had reddened eyes as they stood outside the clubhouse and talked to the media. Gausman choked up a few times and finally used his T-shirt to wipe them. The excitement of joining a pennant race and the next phases of their professional careers...
After a rather busy day off the field, the Orioles will be on the field tonight at Yankee Stadium. They are starting a two-game series and six-game road trip that continues with a four-game series beginning Thursday night at Texas.
The Orioles (32-74) have won three in a row and can tie their season-high win streak tonight. In the last three wins over Tampa Bay, they scored 37 runs. Over the last five games, they've scored 47 runs, and in nine games since the All-Star break, the Orioles have...
