A look inside GM Mike Rizzo's trade history

A look inside GM Mike Rizzo's trade history
Major league general managers are convening in Phoenix starting today to meet with officials from the commissioner's office, go over potential rules changes, discuss what worked (and didn't) with expanded replay and initiate the process of filling roster holes in anticipation of the 2015 season. The reality is that few deals are made at the GM meetings. However, it's a venue where a lot of talks get started, with the hope of consummating deals a few weeks later at the Winter Meetings (which...

Jones to host second annual #StayHungry #PurpleTailgate on Sunday

Jones to host second annual #StayHungry #PurpleTailgate on Sunday
Sometime next season, you're going to see a most disturbing sight. It might be in person. It might be on Twitter. It might be captured on film via television or even on this website. But you need to be prepared for it. Orioles center fielder Adam Jones will be dressed in a Pittsburgh Steelers Ben Roethlisberger jersey. Hopefully, not those silly black-and-yellow-striped throwbacks that make the Steelers look like oversized bees. Jones wound up on the wrong end of a wager with Pirates center...

As part of its "30 for 30" series, ESPN will present "Brothers in Exile," which chronicles the path that led two half-brothers - ex-National Livan Hernandez and Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez - to defect from their native Cuba for a chance to play baseball in the major leagues.

Palm Beach County commissioners this morning voted 5-2 to approve $108 million in hotel bed tax revenues that will help fund the new spring training facility the Nationals and Houston Astros want to share. The teams now have 90 days to find a suitable site to build a new stadium, practice fields, offices and other facilities that would be used for both spring training and Grapefruit League games.

Frank Cashen's enjoyable autobiography rife with insider Orioles memories

Frank Cashen's enjoyable autobiography rife with insider Orioles memories
The last time I saw J. Frank Cashen, the longtime Orioles executive who was an architect of the team's powerhouse clubs from the 1960s and 1970s, was in August 2012 at the annual Orioles Hall of Fame luncheon. I rode an elevator with Cashen, then 86, who reveled in being surrounded by Baltimore baseball fans and Hall of Famers from the club. "Isn't this a fantastic day?" a smiling, ruddy-faced Cashen said when I shook his hand upon being introduced to a man who qualifies as Baltimore...

The Nationals' hopes to partner with the Houston Astros on a shared spring training complex in Palm Beach County have run into another obstacle: West Palm Beach, which owns the 160 acres the teams are targeting, is considering a $14 million offer for the property from a developer who wants to build there. According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, city commissioners in West Palm Beach have decided to pursue a deal that would place town houses, retail businesses and a new park on the tract,...

Former National Young hopes new vision leads to new career path
Everything Dmitri Young thought he knew about baseball changed over the course of two weeks in Phoenix earlier this month. Now, armed with an innovative insight into the game he loves, the former Nationals first baseman is setting his sights on a new career path. The 41-year-old Young, who revived a moribund career with the Nats in 2007 to become an All-Star, recently graduated from Major League Baseball's scouting development program, an intensive two-week course affectionately known as...

Ex-Nat Willingham savoring first taste of postseason

Ex-Nat Willingham savoring first taste of postseason
BALTIMORE - Josh Willingham readily admits there were times during his 11 major league seasons that he wondered whether he'd ever taste the promised land of baseball's postseason. He was a part of the Nationals squad that went 59-103 in 2009, setting the stage for the team to take outfielder Bryce Harper with the first selection in the following year's First-Year Player Draft. Five times during his career, he's been on teams that lost 91 or more games. It would have been six had the...

Williams meets the media after Nats are ousted from playoffs
The 96 victories the Nationals amassed this year, the 17-game bulge over the Braves in the National League East, all the hopes and dreams of a deeper run than in the 2012 postseason - all evaporated Tuesday night in a 3-2 loss to San Francisco in Game 4 of the National League Division Series. The Giants advance to face the Cardinals in the National League Championship Series. The Nationals go home. The emotional swing in the decisive seventh inning was gut-wrenching. Any momentum the Nationals...

Hearing from Williams after Nats' win in NLDS Game 3

Hearing from Williams after Nats' win in NLDS Game 3
Say this about Nationals manager Matt Williams: He's immensely even-keeled regardless of the situation. It's hard to tell if he's eight runs up or eight runs down just by looking at the expression on his face. In his postgame meeting with the media following the Nationals' 4-1 win over the Giants in Game 3 of the National League Division Series, Williams was his typical focused and unflappable self, refusing to bite on questions about his team's two games to one hole in the best-of-five...

Zimmermann backs Williams' decision to pull him in ninth inning

Zimmermann backs Williams' decision to pull him in ninth inning
Jordan Zimmermann passed the time after he exited in the ninth inning of Saturday night's Game 2 of the National League Division Series bouncing between the dugout and clubhouse, watching a parade of relievers travel down the tunnel from the field. Since the game lasted 18 innings - at 6 hours, 23 minutes, it was the longest postseason game by time in major league history - he had a lot of time to ponder what might have been. But if you expected Zimmermann to second-guess manager Matt...
