As the NFL's season continues, so does that of Tyler Wilson's Packers. After beating the Redskins 35-18 on Sunday, the Pack now heads to the desert to take on the Cardinals in the NFC divisional round. #GoPackGo -- Tyler Wilson (@t_willy18) January 11, 2016 Meanwhile, back here in the Old Line State, MASNsports.com's Roch Kubatko won, too. On Monday, Roch was named a co-winner of the Maryland Sportswriter of the Year award by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association for the...

Good news: Nationals pitchers and catchers report in almost a month (Feb. 18)! Bad news: One of the other D.C. teams that was holding you over until then finished its season last weekend. Even though the Redskins were handed an early exit in their surprising playoff run at the hands of a 35-18 defeat to the Green Bay Packers, there is a lot of upside for this team in the future. And MASN's Dan Kolko, for one, enjoyed a season that surpassed expectations, included a division championship and...

The Nationals avoided arbitration with infielder Anthony Rendon today, agreeing to terms on a reported salary of $2.8 million for the 2016 season. MLBTradeRumors.com was first to report earlier this offseason that Rendon was granted an extra year of arbitration after qualifying as a Super Two player. The Nationals have made it clear Rendon will move back to third base in 2016. He started 59 of his 80 games at second base last season while Yunel Escobar played third. But with Escobar traded,...

Daniel Murphy and Ben Revere entered 2015 on ballclubs with different outlooks for the season. Murphy's Mets were seen as on the rise, especially with an assembly of dominant young starters, while Revere's Phillies figured to battle for last place in the National League East during a rebuilding phase. But neither team was expected to challenge the Nationals, who had been predicted to run away with the division. Obviously, we know what happened. The Phillies tanked, fired everyone and had a...

The Orioles and their six unsigned arbitration-eligible players will exchange salary figures today if agreements can't be reached on contracts for the upcoming season. As I say every year, it's a whole lot of wasted reporting energy. The players are under team control. It's just a matter of determining how much they're going to be paid in 2016. Third baseman Manny Machado is the most interesting case because he's due a huge raise in his first year of eligibility after making $548,000 last...

While first baseman Chris Davis remains on the free agent market, the Orioles appear to be focused on Yoenis Cespedes as a potential replacement in the middle of the lineup. The Orioles have made an offer to Cespedes, according to an industry source. No deal is imminent, however, and the market continues to develop. Cespedes hit .291 and posted career highs with 35 home runs and 105 RBIs last season for the Tigers and Mets. He won a Gold Glove for playing left field in the American League,...
