As the MLB Winter Meetings begin a three-day run today in San Diego, the Orioles continue their search for starting pitching. The weekend agreement with right-hander Kyle Gibson is expected to be a starting point but not the end point. They are not done. Now we await the next rumor and/or dispatch from San Diego that could give us a clue which free

SAN DIEGO – Though most everyone from the baseball world arrived here Sunday, the Winter Meetings actually get underway today. Aside from the announcement of the Hall of Fame’s Contemporary Era Players Committee vote – more on that shortly – nothing official happened Sunday at the Manchester Grand Hyatt.

The Winter Meetings are back to normal after going virtual in 2020 and disappearing in 2021. Media can storm the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, clog the lobby and wait in long lines for its morning coffee. I’d expect the largest wave of reporters to arrive later today. Some team executives will wait until Monday morning. And then, it’s on. Th

The Orioles have made a flurry of moves leading into the Winter Meetings that begin Sunday, with today’s news pertaining to the signing of a veteran starting pitcher who's a year removed from his selection to the All-Star team. Right-hander Kyle Gibson has agreed to a one-year contract pending a physical, as first reported by The Athletic’s Ken Ros
