Orioles
The Orioles have an agreement in place with prep shortstop Jackson Holliday, the first-overall pick in the MLB Draft. The next step before his official signing. Holliday is getting a record deal for a high school player, slightly more than the $8.185 million bonus that outfielder Druw Jones received from the Diamondbacks as the second-overall selec

The All-Star break has come and gone. The first half of the season is no more. Everybody’s enjoying one more day of relaxation before regathering Friday and commencing the second half. For the Nationals, this is going to be a second half of change and promise, and perhaps some heartbreak as well. A lot could happen in these next few weeks leading u

He's rolling at Norfolk and Jordan Westburg moves into top 100 lists

Orioles
He started the 2021 season with low Single-A Delmarva, but ended it with Double-A Bowie. And now, as the 2022 season heads into the second half, O’s infield prospect Jordan Westburg has moved into the back end of top 100 lists. And, with his strong play at Triple-A Norfolk, has put himself in position for a call to the majors whenever the big club

A longer look at Beck (Orioles sign Costes)
Roch Kubatko
Orioles
Selecting pitcher Jared Beck in the 13th round on the final day of the MLB Draft wasn’t a reach for the Orioles. And that’s just one of the many references to his height that will accompany his journey through the minors if he signs a professional contract. Beck must be used to it. There’s no hiding at 7 feet tall. The Orioles chose 12 pitchers. On

A look at a few things that went right in the first half for the O's
Steve Melewski
Orioles
They began the 2022 season by being swept at Tropicana Field, and were 2-6 after eight games. At the end of April they were 7-14. Same old Orioles. Except that would not turn out to be true. Not even close. By this point, even the harshest critics or those with misguided criticisms like “they’re still in last place” must realize the Baltimore Oriol

The good and the bad of the Nats' first half
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
Look down upon the first half of the Nationals’ season from 30,000 feet in the air, and you can’t find much of anything to gloat about. How can you try to put a positive spin on a worst-in-baseball 31-63 record, a roster filled with ineffective stopgaps and all kinds of uncertainty at every level of the organization? You can’t. Look at the last 3 1

Today feels like an actual break in the 2022 baseball season. The MLB Draft is over, the All-Star Game was played last night and there’s only Trey Mancini’s inevitable – I’m calling it, anyway – ESPY tonight for Best Comeback Athlete.

López has scoreless outing in All-Star Game
Roch Kubatko
Orioles
Jorge López’s first All-Star Game experience was brief. Took him longer to warm up than to pitch. But it was perfection. López faced two batters in the bottom of the seventh inning and retired them on two ground balls. Total number of pitches: Three. One blink and you risked missing it. Replacing former Orioles Rule 5 pick Nestor Cortes Jr., López
