The Orioles announced today that they've signed outfielder Quintin Berry to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. Berry, 29, gives the Orioles another left-handed bat for the outfield. He also presents a much-needed stolen-base threat after Nate McLouth signed with the Nationals as a free agent. Berry is 29-for-29 in stolen base attempts, including the playoffs. He's a career .268/.339/.371 hitter in 107 games over parts of two major league seasons with the Tigers...

How do you top a championship season in which your team set a record for the top rookie-level winning percentage in more than 30 years? Take on the South Atlantic League, of course! Patrick Anderson, who guided the Gulf Coast League Nationals to a 52-9 record and a league title, now will try is hand as the new manager of the low Single-A Hagerstown Suns. "I am looking forward to it," Anderson said. "I just finished my first year with the organization and they have been unbelievable....

This is the point in the offseason when hard news is sometimes tough to come by. While there are still a handful of quality free agents out there on the market (Nelson Cruz, Kendrys Morales, Stephen Drew, Masahiro Tanaka, Matt Garza, Ervin Santana, Ubaldo Jimenez, A.J. Burnett, Grant Balfour, etc.) and there are some big contracts that have yet to be handed out, many teams have already made their most significant moves of the offseason and don't have all that much left to do. The Nationals...

We had a 10 questions blog in October and one in November. Somehow we missed December, so let's get our January version posted today. As usual, answer one, two, all 10 questions or any number that strikes you. Answer with one word or expound on your answer as much as you like. Here is the first 2014 edition of "10 questions for O's fans." 1) Who is most likely to sign a contract extension with the Orioles: Chris Davis, Matt Wieters and/or J.J. Hardy? 2) Predict the 2014 stats for Nick...

The Orioles could go in two directions regarding their bullpen. Sign a closer or move Tommy Hunter into the role and acquire another set-up man. Either way, they seem likely to add another reliever before spring training. Though they made an immediate push for free agent closer Fernando Rodney after their deal with Grant Balfour fell apart, he may be too pricy for a team that wasn't willing to pay Jim Johnson $10-$11 million in 2014. There doesn't appear to be a financial match. According...

Happy 2014, Orioles fans! After watching the O's offseason get off to an extremely slow start, I'm sure many of your New Year's resolutions include something along the lines of "Watch the Orioles make a big move." The holidays and 2013 are over, but there are still many big-name free agents available. However, in the past, the Orioles have not been aggressive when it comes to free agency. Although the Orioles are still looking for starting pitching, they do have a solid list of pitching...

Happy New Year, Nats nation. With 2013 gone and 2014 under way, we can now officially start counting down the days until opening day, right? While we're still a few more months away from baseball in D.C., the Nationals answered many questions very early in the offseason, acquiring Doug Fister, signing Nate McLouth and more. So, while my 2014 started off with a bang, we may find the Nationals' somewhat slow. As we begin the new year, let's look at some predictions for the Nationals and some...

Now that 2014 is underway, opening day seems so close, yet so far away. The Nationals appear to be done with their major offseason moves, leaving fans with reason to anticipate the beginning of another baseball season in D.C. This week, in case you weren't pumped up enough for the upcoming season, we're throwin' it back to the most exciting play from 2013. I'm sure most of you know which play I am referring to, so without further adieu, relive Denard Span's thrilling game-saving catch in...

It's officially 2014, which means we're officially ready for the 2014 baseball season to begin. Who am I kidding? I've been ready for opening day since the last out of the 2013 season. This week, in effort to get fans pumped for a new year, we're throwin' it back to one of Nick Markakis' best defensive plays from last season. Watch him rob Adrian Beltre of a home run in the video below and check back every Thursday for more memorable moments from 2013. Your browser does not support...

After watching a beautiful snow-filled NHL Winter Classic game yesterday that dramatically ended in a shootout, count me among those who are pumped about next year's Winter Classic in D.C. The Capitals will host the NHL's signature event next year, and according to multiple reports, the Winter Classic will be held at Nationals Park, which is viewed as the best option in the D.C. area because of the uncertainty involving the Redskins' schedule. I think it's fairly safe to say the snow...
