The Orioles made the following roster moves: Tendered 2024 contracts to LHP Danny Coulombe, OF Austin Hays, LHP Cole Irvin, LHP John Means, INF Ryan Mountcastle, OF Cedric Mullins, INF/OF Ryan O'Hearn, LHP Cionel Pérez, OF Anthony Santander, RHP Dillon Tate, INF Ramón Urías, RHP Jacob Webb, and RHP Tyler Wells, as well as all pre-arbitration 40-man
There was some news around baseball on Thursday that had nothing to do with a free agent signing, a trade, or an award. Major League Baseball's owners voted unanimously to approve the move of the Athletics from Oakland to Las Vegas. The team currently known as the Oakland A's will someday play in a ballpark along the Las Vegas strip that has not ev
Baseball’s second significant roster deadline of the week comes this evening, when teams are required to tender contracts to all players on the 40-man roster who aren’t already signed for the upcoming season. Tendering a contract doesn’t mean actually agreeing to a 2024 salary. That process can still take place over the next two months, with any ca
The next important date on baseball’s calendar arrives today with teams required to tender or non-tender players eligible for arbitration. You probably memorized the list of 17 Orioles, an unusually high total, but here it is again, with MLBTradeRumors using its model to project salaries: Anthony Santander: $7.4 million to $12.7 million Danny Coulo
At this point 12 months ago, the Nationals had three holes to fill in their 2023 starting lineup. They needed a left fielder. They needed a third baseman. And, after choosing not to tender a contract to Luke Voit, they needed a first baseman (or designated hitter). Mike Rizzo promptly filled all three of those holes in the form of Corey Dickerson,
With one of the lowest payrolls in Major League Baseball, the Orioles were still able to pull off a 101-win season that led them to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. There certainly seems to be room for that payroll to grow and get larger. How large no one knows and no one from the front office will tip their hand. Orioles executive vice
My mailbag is getting thick around the waist again. So am I, which prevents me from judging it too harshly. Rather than let it balloon and risk a rupture, I’ve decided to empty it this morning in the latest sequel to the beloved original in August 2008. Harder to keep the weight off as we age. I didn’t burn many calories editing your questions. I m
We knew there would be news Tuesday, what with the Nationals facing a late-afternoon deadline to add players to the 40-man roster and protect them from being lost in the Rule 5 draft. We didn’t know there would be quite this much news, though. While the promotions of pitchers DJ Herz, Mitchell Parker, Cole Henry and Zach Brzykcy to the 40-man roste
When asked about the attributes of Brandon Hyde as Orioles manager on MLB Network Tuesday morning and how he has had such an impact on the roster, O’s bench coach Fredi Gonzalez had an interesting answer. “Well, he’s been given the opportunity to grow with the team,” he said. “That doesn’t happen in our sport.” He noted how Hyde was that rare skipp
Two moves made by the Orioles in the offseason put players on the 40-man roster who are out of minor league options. Left-hander Tucker Davidson, who signed a one-year contract last week, cleared outright waivers yesterday and was assigned to Triple-A Norfolk. Outfielder Sam Hilliard will try to avoid the waiver wire as the Orioles create more spac
