Now that 2025 has arrived on the calendar, can the baseball season be that far behind? It will be here sooner than we think, with spring training arriving next month, the first spring game set for Feb. 22 and Opening Day 2025 scheduled for March 27 with the Orioles at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

The month featured three major league deals, bringing a right fielder (Tyler O’Neill), backup catcher (Gary Sánchez) and starting pitcher (Tomoyuki Sugano). Another starter could arrive in January

SEATTLE – By now, I’m sure you’ve seen the fact that the Orioles have secured their first winning month since Aug. 2017. That’s a really long time.  What’s been behind that winning month?  The O’s have gone 14-10 in June, outscoring their opponents 121-96, good for a +25 run differential. The offense has averaged 5.03 runs per game over that stretc

It’s officially 2025 now, and that means a fresh start and raised expectations for a Nationals club that made strides in 2024 but still hasn’t climbed all the way out of the franchise rebuild they first embarked on in July 2021.

With right-hander Corbin Burnes off to Arizona and no ace pitchers still to be had via free agency, the Orioles may have pivoted toward a pitcher who made nine appearances for them in the 2023 season and one more in that postseason.

The year 2025 is upon us. Break out the resolutions and other promises that will be broken like a hockey player’s front teeth.

The Orioles have made the following roster move: Agreed to terms on a 2025 minor league contract with INF/OF Nick Gordon.

We’ve reached the final week of the year, so it’s time to look back at the Nationals’ most significant stories of 2024. We conclude the series today with the long-awaited arrival of James Wood and Dylan Crews to the big leagues … For three years, the Nationals’ best pitch to fans and the baseball world in general was to ask for patience. The franch

Some projections when free agency was just beginning had outfielder Anthony Santander getting $100 million and maybe more whenever he signs his next contract. Free to sign with any team, Santander is still out there for any club to sign, but maybe some recent deals provide a framework for his next one. As free agency opened up, MLBTradeRumors.com p
