The Orioles made their second roster move since ending the 2022 season, claiming outfielder Jake Cave off waivers from the Twins today and designating reliever Jake Reed for assignment. An industry source confirmed the waiver claim, which appeared on the major league transactions page. Cave, 29, appeared in 54 games with the Twins and batted .213/.

We sure can’t say the 2022 Major League Baseball playoffs have lacked in surprises or drama. We saw three road teams advance, a 15-innings thriller, a six-run ninth inning rally, an ear inspection and a team trailing 8-1 in the fifth inning rally to win. So yeah, a lot going on in just three days of ball. The madness resumes today with four Divisio

An increase in spending by the Orioles during the offseason leads the imagination directly to the free agent and trade markets. However, the club has seven players eligible for arbitration. Raises are coming to most, if not all, of them. Outfielder Anthony Santander leads the pack after making $3.15 million this year. He doesn’t reach free agency u

The Orioles Gunnar Henderson was not in the major leagues that long – for 34 games – but long enough to experience both hot and cold streaks at-bat. And long enough to have some big moments and hits, long enough to show he belongs and that his considerable talents play at the level at the age of 21. Unlike with fellow top prospect Adley Rutschman,

Players arranged flights home, hopped in their cars or weighed their options. Reliever Keegan Akin normally drives straight through to Michigan, but didn’t know if he’d need to stop somewhere overnight with the Orioles playing a doubleheader on Wednesday. Center fielder Cedric Mullins was heading down to Georgia, with planned visits along the way a

While just one of the four O's full-season minor league affiliates - high Single-A Aberdeen - made the playoffs this year, it was a banner season for the organization in player development. They had two players ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the sport and both Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson made the majors and did well when they got there. T

  We always knew the Nationals weren't going to be good this season. We just had no idea how bad it would get, not only in terms of their 55-107 record, but the fact they traded Juan Soto in early August in an attempt to completely revamp their farm system. Sometimes, it's tougher to predict how a bad season will play out than a good one. That cert

The Orioles played their last games on Wednesday, a doubleheader feeling like a kick in the pants on their way out the door. A gentle nudge would have sufficed, but the sport can be cruel. Some of my reflections were shared ahead of the finale. Maybe a bit premature, but rules are made to be broken. I’ve already noted how Matt Harvey never had his
