One of the most joyous days in Nationals history came on a fairly random Saturday afternoon in June 2018. The Nats won that day, defeating the Giants, 7-5. Bryce Harper homered. Gio Gonzalez lasted only 3 1/3 innings, making him ineligible for the win. Five relievers went the rest of the way to close it out, with Sean Doolittle notching the save. T

Hey at least they didn’t get Juan Soto. Somehow the Los Angeles Dodgers, who did get pitchers Roki Sasaki and Tanner Scott in their latest star additions, will have to try and repeat their World Series title without Soto. He went to the New York Mets. But the Dodgers still had a pretty good weekend, getting Sasaki Friday and Scott, the former Oriol

The big free agent reliever name fell off the board yesterday. In predictable fashion, it landed in the Dodgers organization. Former Orioles left-hander Tanner Scott received a four-year, $72 million contract that reportedly will include a $20 million signing bonus and $21 million deferred. The Dodgers already are paying starters Blake Snell $182 m

It's getting closer and closer with each day that goes by. The start of the 2025 baseball season. We can now say spring training begins next month. The first spring game is set for Feb. 22 and Opening Day is March 27 at 3:07 p.m. at Rogers Centre, where the O's will play the Toronto Blue Jays.  With the Blue Jays for now projecting an all right-han

Four NFL playoffs games this weekend and a forecast calling for a wintry mix turning to snow. This is football weather. This is one reason why so many baseball fans count down the days until pitchers and catchers report. The Orioles keep checking the pitching market with the possibility of making another move. I keep checking the mailbag and decidi

The Orioles emerging international program, a program that can now boast of 13 ranked players on the MLBPipeline.com Orioles’ top 30 prospects list, added more talent this week. On Wednesday, the first day to sign international amateurs this signing period – a period that runs through Dec. 15, 2025 – the O’s added 22 players. By signing bonus, the

In search of more experienced catching depth, the Nationals signed veteran Andrew Knizner to a minor league deal, offering the former Cardinals backup an invitation to big league camp and a chance to compete for a major league job. The deal, which was confirmed by a source familiar with the terms, was first reported by the Washington Post. Knizner,

The only news to pass through the Orioles organization yesterday was Livan Soto clearing outright waivers and being assigned to Triple-A Norfolk. The previous times being designated for assignment gave Soto the freedom to refuse it. He also knows about the crowded infield that makes it harder to infiltrate the major league roster.
