The immediate takeaway from the Orioles’ work at the trade deadline is how they went hard after quantity and also feel like they improved the quality of their rotation and bullpen and the depth of their right-handed hitters. They really didn't skimp on the quantity. They were as busy adding players as the Marlins were subtracting them. The flurry o

PHOENIX – A road trip that began on the heels of a no-hitter, then included an extra-inning win, a 14-run explosion, back-to-back walk-off losses, a 17-run blowout loss and the trades of three popular veterans ended this afternoon with the closest thing the Nationals have had to a normal day in the last week.

PHOENIX – It’s been an eventful road trip, to say the least. The Nationals went to St. Louis and won a game in extra innings, scored 14 runs while trading Jesse Winker mid-game and lost on a walk-off homer. Then they came to Arizona and traded Lane Thomas before Kyle Finnegan gave up five runs in the bottom of the ninth, then kept Finnegan but trad

The Orioles, still a work in progress with their roster after the trade deadline, take the field today with Jackson Holliday back in the lineup as they host Toronto to wrap up the four-game series. The Orioles (64-44) lead the American League East by 1/2 game over the Yankees and by seven games over the Red Sox after last night's 6-2 win. They have

Trade deadlines are supposed to address questions and deficiencies with the roster for a team in buyer mode. There are always questions, however. The work gets done and explanations are sought. Why do this and that? Is the club actually better than the previous model? And about those rumors. Executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias met w

Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday is back with the team today and about to play in a big league game for the first time since April 23. He said he feels more prepared this time around and his arm is fully ready after a bout with right elbow inflammation. The 20-year-old Holliday went 2-for-34 with 18 strikeouts in 10 games in his first time in the

The Orioles recalled Jackson Holliday this morning and he’s starting at second base to close out the series against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Left-hander Gregory Soto was activated and is wearing No. 65. Catcher Blake Hunt and infielder Terrin Vavra were optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Hunt is on the taxi squad.
