The Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles jointly announce the final resolution of all issues related to the MASN dispute. For the 2025 season, Washington Nationals games will continue to be televised locally exclusively by the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) under a new, one-year contract.  After this term, the Nationals will be free to ex

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Trey Lipscomb was the surprise standout of Nationals spring training this time last year. A former third-round pick and top-30 prospect who was invited to major league camp for the first time and was expected just to learn from the experience. But the Frederick, Md., native did much more than learn. He took that opportunity

The Orioles are 4-4 in the Grapefruit League, losers of two straight, and it means as much as the heart-healthy claims on boxes of Cheerios. Maybe if you power-walk to the fridge to get the milk. Spring training records aren’t important. Take the wins where you can get them, but don’t judge a game by the final score. For example, the 5-2 loss to th

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The Nationals know they need to hit for more power in 2025. They hit the second-fewest home runs in the major leagues last year with 135, only two more than the woeful White Sox. The offseason additions to the lineup are supposed to address that lack of power. They already know Josh Bell’s homer potential. They believe Natha

The last pitch thrown by Orioles closer Félix Bautista in a competitive game was Aug. 25, 2023 against the Rockies at Camden Yards. Bautista was one strike away from his 34th save but settled for the unwanted hold. Bautista unleashed a 102.3 mph fastball to pinch-hitter Michael Toglia, tumbled toward first base, began flexing his hand and walked of

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – After some initial confusion this morning, James Wood will return to the Nationals lineup as the designated hitter for this afternoon’s spring training game against the Astros. Manager Davey Martinez said after Wood’s spring debut Friday that the towering outfielder would DH again today. But when the Nats lineup was initiall

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – If yesterday’s split-squad doubleheader wasn’t enough, we’re right back for more baseball this afternoon! Trevor Williams gets the ball for his second start of spring this afternoon against the Astros. The veteran right-hander was the first Nationals starter to go multiple innings in his first outing, tossing 23 pitches, 16

Samuel Basallo is serving as the designated hitter this afternoon, as the Orioles make another Sunday trip to play the Phillies in Clearwater. Gary Sánchez is behind the plate. Ramón Laureano gets the start in center field and is batting leadoff, followed by second baseman Jackson Holliday. Colton Cowser is in right field and Heston Kjerstad is in

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – MacKenzie Gore entered spring training as the presumed Opening Day starter for the Nationals. Patrick Corbin is no longer here and Josiah Gray is going to miss at least the first half of the season due to injury. So the 26-year-old left-hander with electric, albeit inconsistent stuff is a likely choice to take the ball for t
