Daylen Lile’s red-hot finish to the season earned him a pair of impressive honors: National League Player of the Month and NL Rookie of the Month. Those joint awards were announced this morning by Major League Baseball, which handed out all of the sport’s monthly honors for September and declared a double-winner for the Nationals. Lile closed out h

Following a month in which he led the National League in OPS, slugging percentage, batting average and triples, outfielder Daylen Lile was named National League Player and Rookie of the Month on Tuesday. The announcement was on MLB Network. Lile, 22, hit .391 with a .440 on-base percentage and a .772 slugging percentage in 25 games during the month

The Nationals entered 2025 with visions of winning for the first time in six years. Or, at minimum, showing significant improvement in their won-loss record and coming as close to actually winning as they had since hoisting the World Series trophy in October 2019. That, of course, never came to be. Not even close. The 2025 Nats regressed, finishing

OK, today really is starting to feel like the offseason for non-playoff teams. The Orioles don’t have more games on their schedule. They haven’t arranged another press conference. The ballpark is quiet except for employees who still have 9-to-5 jobs and the construction crews. Work on the former press box site already was underway yesterday. Tony M

With renovations starting in various areas of Camden Yards, today’s season-ending press conference with president of baseball operations/general manager Mike Elias and interim manager Tony Mansolino was held at Warehouse Bar & Restaurant on the ground floor of the brick building. The location had nothing to do with the Orioles finishing on the

The Orioles are ready to begin an extensive managerial search at an accelerated pace, with the goal of making a decision as soon as possible, said president of baseball operations/general manager Mike Elias. Perhaps the hire comes before a GM is chosen for the front office. The possibility exists, according to Elias. And interim manager Tony Mansol

Was 2025 the most disappointing season in Nationals history? There’s a compelling argument it was. Though four previous versions of this club (2008, 2009, 2021, 2022) produced worse records, this current group’s final mark of 66-96 might have been tougher to accept because there was genuine optimism entering this season, both from inside and outsid

NEW YORK – The real work begins today. Games are done until spring training and they won’t become official until March 26, when the Orioles play the Twins at Camden Yards. But the team must be rebuilt and rebooted. A repeat of 2025 won’t suffice. Anything close to it could spark an overhaul. The Orioles will reach important dates in the offseason,

NEW YORK – Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino is celebrating his 43rd birthday, joking with media earlier today about being old but mostly somber over the finality of the season. “It’s always a weird feeling,” he said. “There’s certainly a strange feeling of unfinished business in a lot of ways because our fate is to go home and we’re not gonna

Few individual baseball games carry the kind of emotions that come with Game 162. For those involving teams still fighting for the chance to play in October, it’s the ultimate blood-pressure test. For everyone else, it’s the ultimate feel-good day, a chance to chase some personal milestones and say goodbye to those who aren’t returning the followin
