MLB execs survey was a real positive for the Orioles
We already knew that the Orioles produce young talent about as well as any team in baseball and that the club's farm system is No. 1 in the sport. But it's nice when the industry provides further confirmation of all this. And this week, the Orioles got further confirmation in a four-part series of articles on MLB.com and MLBPipeline.com. The outlet
It took the entire day, but the Nationals did sign all four of their arbitration-eligible players to 2024 contracts Thursday, with Lane Thomas ($5.45 million) and Luis García ($1.95 million) agreeing to their deals prior to Major League Baseball’s 1 p.m. deadline, then Kyle Finnegan ($5.1 million) and Hunter Harvey ($2.325 million) agreeing to thei
A month has passed since the last big mailbag reveal, when blue smoke told us that the Orioles would make a trade with the Royals. Welcome to the Orioles world, Jonathan Heasley. The deadline to sign arbitration-eligible players or exchange salary figures was last night, followed by the start of the international signing period on Monday. The three
The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Agreed to terms with LHP Cole Irvin, LHP John Means, INF Ryan Mountcastle, CF Cedric Mullins, OF Anthony Santander, RHP Dillon Tate, INF Ramón Urías, and RHP Tyler Wells on one-year contracts for the 2024 season, avoiding arbitration.
The Orioles' international program took another step forward today with the announcement that the club's new complex in the Dominican Republic will officially open Tuesday.

The Baltimore Orioles today announced that they will host an opening ceremony for their new, state-of-the-art training academy in Guerra, Dominican Republic on Tuesday, January 16, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. AST. Several dignitaries are scheduled to attend the event, including Dominican Republic President LUIS ABINADER, Dominican Republic Vice Ministe
For the first time in a long time, there will be Nationals news today. Not news about the signing of a prominent free agent (unless Mike Rizzo has a surprise up his sleeve). But news about the status of four players who must either agree to 2024 salaries today or file for arbitration. The four players on the clock today: Lane Thomas, Kyle Finnegan,
Earlier this week, in a blog about the Orioles 2023 offense, it was noted that while the club finished fourth in the American League scoring 4.98 runs per game, they were not rated that highly in some other stats like team batting average (sixth), OBP (tied for seventh), slugging (seventh) and team OPS (eighth). The Orioles were very strong, leadin
The string of slow-to-nonexistent news days is about to get snipped with the Orioles approaching the deadline to sign their arbitration-eligible players or exchange salary figures. This counts as actual news, right? Or maybe it depends on your standards. After all, they're under team control no matter the outcome. But at least it's more than a mino
An organization that isn’t hurting for infield prospects and choices made a depth move this morning. The Orioles signed 29-year-old utility player Errol Robinson to a minor league deal. The announcement didn’t include mention of a spring training invite but he’s likely on the list. Robinson is a local product, growing up in Boyds, Md. and attending
It’s been 29 days since the Nationals last made a major-league transaction. Way back on Dec. 12, they announced the signings of Nick Senzel and Dylan Floro, plus the designating of Jeter Downs for assignment. Since then? Crickets. This should be cause for alarm.
