The Orioles have a new first base coach, the latest move to build a staff under first-time manager Craig Albernaz. A source has confirmed the hiring of Jason Bourgeois, who spent the past two seasons as first base and outfield coach with the White Sox. He wasn’t returning in 2026, which created an opportunity in Baltimore. Bourgeois, 43, is replaci

When will Nats start appearing on award ballots again? (Lile finishes fifth for Rookie of Year)

Just to be clear from the outset: Daylen Lile will not be named National League Rookie of the Year tonight. We already know the 22-year-old outfielder didn’t finish among the top three vote getters. Either Braves catcher Drake Baldwin, Cubs right-hander Cade Horton or Brewers third baseman Caleb Durbin will receive the award when the results are an

Baseball’s general manager meetings begin today in Las Vegas. The Orioles did some heavy roster shuffling last week to keep it at a full 40. Perhaps they can make the kind of progress this week that leads to other moves. Pitchers Zach Eflin and Tomoyuki Sugano and catcher Gary Sánchez became free agents, and none of them are expected to return. Efl

Baseball – a game that spans generations around the globe – is a vast world. And yet, sometimes we discover hidden connections that make it seem oh so tiny. Much like that Disneyland theme ride says: It’s a small world after all. When the Nationals announced Blake Butera as their eighth manager last week, very few people (if any) in local circles k

On the same day that the Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde, they also dismissed Tim Cossins, a close friend who served as major league field coordinator and catching instructor. The title wasn’t attached to anyone else on the staff. It just disappeared like the man behind it.  The Orioles are in the process of hiring coaches for new manager Craig

Nats have plenty of holes to fill on minor league rosters as well

Nationals
We noted earlier this week how the Nationals have cleared a bunch of spots on their 40-man roster, losing several players to other clubs via waiver claims while outrighting several more to Triple-A Rochester, some of those players electing to become free agents in the process. All of those moves leave the team with only 34 current players on the 40

The Orioles are just as busy making changes to their front office as they are the coaching staff and roster. Matt Blood is receiving another promotion, according to sources, with a new title of vice president of player and staff development. In his new role, Blood will continue to oversee all aspects of minor league player development and operation

Braves hire Mansolino as third base coach

Former Orioles third base coach and interim manager Tony Mansolino didn’t need much time to find a new job. The Braves have hired Mansolino as third base coach under new manager Walt Weiss. Weiss replaced Brian Snitker, who announced his retirement. Mansolino was hired as the Orioles' third base coach and infield instructor prior to the 2021 season
