Since Dan Duquette took over as Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations on Nov. 8, 2011, we have seen the team make several trades involving minor league prospects.

The Erik Bedard deal is an example of this, but now the contending Orioles have a different approach. Looking to make any and every move to improve the team, they've made several of these deals where they...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Anyone complaining about college kids storming the court after a big win should be punched in the throat. No exceptions. They're not overturning cars near the visitor's bench. They're jumping up and down after their team's upset victory. If that upsets you, give me your address so I can stand on your lawn. The Orioles may finally announce the signing of infielder Everth Cabrera today to a one-year, $2.4 million contract. And manager Buck Showalter may finally be able to...

VIERA, Fla. - One more day of physicals tomorrow for all position players and then Thursday begins official full roster workouts. Nationals manager Matt Williams said all pitchers are healthy through the first four days. "Everybody's good," Williams added. "Nothing more than spring training legs and backs.

Shortstop Trea Turner, the player to be named in a three-team 11-player trade in December that involved the Nationals, has arrived at the San Diego Padres' spring training facility in Peoria, Ariz., according to reports. The deal sent 2013 American League Rookie of the Year Wil Myers to the Padres while Steven Souza Jr. went to Tampa Bay. Turner is a top prospect as the No. 13 overall selection in the 2014 draft. So much so that if he was a member of the Nationals right now, Baseball America...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Infielder Everth Cabrera is still en route to Sarasota and won't report to camp until Wednesday. Manager Buck Showalter won't refer to Cabrera by name until the deal is official, but he talked about the possible impact of having a player like him.

VIERA, Fla. - It's a new year and a new position for Ryan Zimmerman. Aside from injuries, Zimmerman has been the Nationals third baseman ever since he was the first player drafted by the organization after moving to Washington in 2005. But those injuries, combined with the departure of Adam LaRoche and the emergence of Anthony Rendon, have forced the Nationals to move Zimmerman across the diamond to first base, a position he has little experience playing, having seen action in only 18 innings...
