More than two months have passed since the Orioles lost to the Rangers in the Division Series. The first sweep by an opponent since May 2022. The finality knocking the sounds out of the visiting clubhouse at Globe Life Field, leaving players sitting in silence at their lockers. The hurt lessens for some but the mind can’t forget. “It hasn't eased f

The Nationals went to last week’s Winter Meetings in Nashville with a list of needs that included an everyday third baseman. They left Thursday morning after signing former Reds utilityman Nick Senzel for $2 million plus an extra $1 million in incentives. Senzel, 28, was non-tendered by the Reds last month after slashing .236/.297/.399 with a .696

If you missed the news late Tuesday afternoon, the Nationals announced three transactions. One of them (the signing of third baseman Nick Senzel for $2 million plus incentives) was no surprise, having previously been reported. One of them (the signing of reliever Dylan Floro for $2.25 million plus incentives) was unexpected, because nobody had prev

The Orioles rotation – whether they add to it this offseason or not – just might be good enough now to take another run at an American League East championship. Currently, I expect that four members of that rotation look firm: Kyle Bradish, Grayson Rodriguez, John Means and Dean Kremer. A fifth or even someone that could bump someone else out of th

Fredi González can speak from experience about reliever Craig Kimbrel. About the new Orioles closer whose manager during his 2011 rookie season was the current team’s bench coach. “I haven’t seen him since ’14,” González warns during an interview yesterday with MASNsports.com, “but those first four years I had him, for being so young, he was a squa

The Nationals officially announced last week’s signing of third baseman Nick Senzel this afternoon, then added another signing for good measure: veteran reliever Dylan Floro. Both Senzel and Floro have officially signed one-year deals, Senzel’s worth $2 million plus incentives and Floro’s worth $2.25 million plus incentives, sources familiar with t

The Washington Nationals agreed to terms on one-year contracts with right-handed pitcher Dylan Floro and third baseman Nick Senzel on Tuesday. Additionally, Washington designated infielder Jeter Downs for assignment. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcements. Floro, 32, went 5-6 with a 4.76 ERA

The Washington Nationals are providing some extra cheer this holiday season with 12 DAYS OF NATITUDE, the largest single-game ticket launch in club history. More than $40,000 worth of prizes, including memorabilia and exclusive access, are up for grabs now through December 23 for fans who purchase tickets to any 2024 Nationals home game. Tickets fo

When the Nationals selected outfielder Elijah Green with the fifth-overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, it was thought to be a steal for the rebuilding club. How did MLB Pipeline’s No. 3 draft prospect fall to the Nats at No. 5? This would be the second year in a row one of the top high school bats seemingly slipped to the Nats after Brady House fel

He is not the forgotten man in the Orioles starting rotation but maybe he is at times slightly overlooked. With Birdland excited about Kyle Bradish and Grayson Rodriguez at the top of that rotation and the return of lefty John Means late last year in addition to the potential to add another starter, we can look past the 2023 contributions of right-
