An infield in transition in Baltimore (plus a trade with Miami)
Steve Melewski
Orioles
The Orioles may be headed for a transition year with their infield. The players that take the field on opening day on Friday in St. Petersburg will surely be pushed from behind by some of the club’s top prospects. How soon those prospects arrive is an open-ended question, but surely the Orioles have them - both in quantity and quality - and the inf

Nationals
JUPITER, Fla. - Joan Adon was 2 1/2 years old when Albert Pujols made his major league debut for the Cardinals in April 2001. The Dominican-born right-hander has spent his entire life watching Pujols mash baseballs in St. Louis, Anaheim and every other town in the National and American leagues. So when Adon, now 23, stood on the mound at Roger Dean

Orioles
They are No. 1. The Orioles have the top farm system in all of Major League Baseball. They do according to both ESPN, which listed them atop its rankings in mid-February, and according to MLBPipeline.com, which rated the O’s No. 1 when updating its rankings earlier this week.

With Jordan Lyles, O’s hope they added innings-eater and more
Steve Melewski
Orioles
When right-hander Jordan Lyles threw five innings for the Orioles in Friday’s win over Philadelphia, it was the first five-inning outing this spring by an O’s pitcher. Maybe someone did it on a back field or in a minor league game, but not during a spring training game. It was a welcome sight, and the Orioles are hopeful he eats that many innings a

Will MLB's darkest day in 27 years prove just as disastrous?
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
Ask any knowledgeable baseball fan of a certain age about the significance of Aug. 12, 1994, and you'll get a shudder and a scowl out of them. That's the day Major League Baseball players went on strike, a decision that ultimately led to the cancellation of the World Series and a delayed start to the following season.

An adjusted schedule and anticipating a frantic rush to set roster
Roch Kubatko
Orioles
The failure yesterday of Major League Baseball and the Players Association to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement and the subsequent cancellation of the first two series leaves the Orioles with the possibility of opening their season at Tropicana Field on April 8. A best-case scenario that requires the two sides to resume negotiations in New York. The Orioles most recent opener in St. Petersburg happened in 2015, a convenient drive from major league camp in Sarasota. Chris Tillman...
Tough day for the game, but excited about a project coming soon here
Tough day for the game, but excited about a project coming soon here

Orioles
The fans of baseball have been here before. Been dealing with the emotional roller coaster which watching players and owners try to divide up a very big pie and fail to do so, can produce. The last 24 hours or so saw it appear the sides were about to produce a new collective bargaining agreement in the early morning hours of Tuesday, only to see that not happen by much later that afternoon. There is plenty of money to go around, they just can't seem to divide it up to make everyone happy....
