SARASOTA, Fla. - The 12 pitchers on the Orioles’ 40-man roster competing for starting jobs remain in camp. The first cuts aren’t happening anytime soon. The first exhibition game isn’t until Saturday afternoon against the Twins in Sarasota. Don’t rush it. Kyle Bradish isn’t checking the calendar or crunching the numbers. He isn’t worried about his

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The numbers suggest Luis García’s offensive performance last season wasn’t connected at all to his defensive performance. Which is a testament to the young Nationals infielder, because no matter how much he struggled in the field at shortstop in June and July, he didn’t take those struggles with him to the plate. Ballplayers

The Washington Nationals are back in West Palm Beach, Fla., for their seventh season of Spring Training at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. The Nationals open their spring schedule this week against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday, Feb. 25, in Jupiter, Fla., before returning to The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches one day later to face the defendi

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The primary practice field outside The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches was filled to capacity this morning, more than five dozen Nationals players, the entire coaching and training staffs, media members and fans alike in attendance for the first full-squad workout of the spring. It could get a little crowded at times, like when

SARASOTA, Fla. – The Orioles moved to the next phase of spring training today with the first full-squad workout. Drills of every kind, with players grouped by position. Live batting practice sessions on multiple fields, including inside Ed Smith Stadium. “I feel like we’ve been out here a couple weeks,” manager Brandon Hyde said with a laugh. “Guys

We are grateful for the generous outpouring of love and support we have received since the passing of Ted Lerner – husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and Nationals founding managing principal owner. So much has been said about his accomplishments as a businessman and philanthropist. He, of course, would have been the first to acknowled

The Orioles today announced the return of the “Athletes & Artists Play for Kids” charity event, which will take place at Ed Smith Stadium from March 10-12. The event, which combines song and sport to support creativity and music and arts education will feature the return of “Nashville’s Music Row Comes to the Ballpark” VIP charity event, as wel

SARASOTA, Fla. – Lewin Díaz noticed that his friends stopped contacting him. The excitement shared over finding a new team was replaced by awkward silence. The Pirates claimed Díaz off waivers in November. The Orioles claimed him less than two weeks later. And the insanity was building momentum. A trade to the Braves, another claim by the Orioles,

He is not only the oldest player on the Orioles’ 40-man roster, but he is also the only one born before 1990. He is right-handed pitcher Kyle Gibson, signed to a one-year contract in December. After a year where his ERA was 5.05 over 31 starts, many may consider him a back-end of the rotation talent, even if he slots higher than that in the Orioles

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The most newsworthy aspect of Sean Doolittle’s spring so far is perhaps the fact there hasn’t been anything all that newsworthy to report. Doolittle has been throwing off a mound since Christmas. He’s faced live hitters. He’s talking about the importance of pitching back-to-back days before the end of camp. This is all norma
