Attempting to wrestle possible Orioles rumors

I’m returning later today from a quick trip to New York, which included tickets to the taping of Conan O’Brien’s podcast in Brooklyn and to “Wicked” on Broadway. You want more fantasy? Read any article that suggests a possible link between the Orioles and free agent Shohei Ohtani. Stop it. Please. They don’t need a full-time designated hitter and t
The Orioles have made the following roster move: Agreed to terms with LHP Tucker Davidson on a one-year contract for the 2024 season.
The Orioles handled some contract business this afternoon, reaching agreement with left-hander Tucker Davidson on a deal for the 2024 season. Davidson already was in the organization after they claimed him on waivers from the Royals back on Oct. 25. He’s part of 40-man roster that holds 38 players. Today’s signing sets Davidson’s salary as a pre-ar
The Nationals announced their 2024 coaching staff today, officially making four changes while ostensibly eliminating one position that had been created this year.

Can a team that expects to be in the playoffs carry a struggling rookie on the roster? How about one in the everyday lineup? This is sort of a natural follow up blog to yesterday when we pondered how the O’s will look to introduce some of their top prospects to regular player time. When is the right time for the Orioles to make that move? Yes, it i
The offseason is officially underway, and though the Nationals (or any other club) have yet to acquire any new players, they have been busy. They've made several significant moves with their front office. They've replaced three members of the coaching staff. They've made some required 40-man roster moves, with some more to come next week. This has
Orioles executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias returned from the general manager’s meetings in Arizona yesterday afternoon, the schedule disrupted by a virus that reportedly felled about 10 percent of baseball executives. Elias came home without making any roster moves. He wasn’t expected to introduce a new player to the organization.
With just two Silver Slugger winners since the 2014 season, the Orioles doubled that total tonight as Adley Rutschman won the Silver Slugger Award for catchers in the American League and Gunnar Henderson was the winner in the utility player category. It’s the most Silver Slugger wins for the Orioles since Adam Jones, Chris Davis and J.J. Hardy
Major League Baseball and Louisville Slugger tonight announced that GUNNAR HENDERSON (utility) and ADLEY RUTSCHMAN (catcher) have been named recipients of the 2023 American League Silver Slugger Award, the top offensive award in Major League Baseball. This marks the first career Silver Slugger Award for both players. Henderson becomes the first Ori
One of the biggest questions facing the Orioles for next season is how and when to turn over significant playing time to some of their top prospects? When is the right time to not only call up a player but commit to that player as a regular? The Orioles have more than three players that are on the verge of cracking the everyday lineup or pushing to
