Nationals hope Ogasawara signing opens more doors in Asia

Why did it take 20 years for the Nationals to sign their first free agent from Asia? “That market is a market that is built on relationships,” general manager Mike Rizzo said. “You can’t go down there and just pick and choose a guy you want to scout and try and sign him. That market, I dabbled in it when I was with Arizona a few times. And here, we

Let's talk about the longball and O's homer totals

Orioles
Let’s take a look today at the longball. Hitting homers was something the 2024 Orioles did quite well, about as well as any team in the majors last year and they were among the best power-hitting teams in 71 years of Orioles baseball. The Birds hit 235 home runs to rank second-best in the American League and in the majors to the Yankees, who hit 23
Mailbag leftovers for breakfast

When the playoffs started, I predicted an Eagles-Bills Super Bowl in a beat writer text thread. No one else had Philadelphia, but I cited its defense, offensive line and weapons in the backfield and at receiver and tight end. I got it half right. Josh Allen just came along at the wrong time, in the midst of the Chiefs dynasty. I also knew that I’d

For 26 years, it was a place Washington, D.C., professional sports teams had only visited once. From Super Bowl XXVI in January 1992 until the Stanley Cup Finals in June 2018, the 1997-98 Capitals were the only Washington team among the four major North American sports to reach its league semifinals. Unfortunately, the Capitals’ run that season end
How will the O's rate on offense and defense? How about the pitchers?

As we are now just a few weeks away from the start of spring training and the new season, today let’s take a look at the O’s roster in terms of four components. They are the offense and defense and the pitching – starting pitching and the bullpen. We don’t know the Opening Day roster yet, obviously, or the final roster that will start camp, but at

The weather is warming this week, which whets the appetite for spring training. Temperatures might touch 40 today. Be sure to lather on the sunscreen. There might be some deep burns in today’s mailbag. Only one way to find out. You ask, I answer, and we have the latest sequel to the beloved 2008 original. And keep in mind that my mailbag catches tw
Nats expect Ogasawara to earn spot in Opening Day rotation

Shinnosuke Ogasawara isn’t the first Japanese player Mike Rizzo has scouted, or even attempted to sign. The Nationals have been trying to make inroads in Asia for years but, according to Rizzo, had been unsuccessful at building the kind of meaningful relationships needed to seal the deal. How did they finally break through and get Ogasawara to agre
Which five starters will Nats open season with?
Mark Zuckerman
Masn
Friday’s signing of Shinnosuke Ogasawara truly came out of left field. Not only because the Nationals had never signed a free agent out of Japan (or any other Asian country). But because they didn’t seem to be in the market for another starting pitcher, at least not one who wouldn’t instantly slot into the front of the rotation, as opposed to the b
In a field loaded with talented shortstops, the O's Gunnar Henderson is named No. 1

Major League Baseball’s best shortstop, right now, is the Orioles’ Gunnar Henderson. So says MLB Network during its Top Ten Right Now series that has been airing in recent days. Well not everyone at the network feels that way but the “shredder” does which is MLB Network’s model that I presume takes all the stats and data and provides a formula for

Very grateful for my time here as it comes toward an end

I was the first writer hired to work at MASNsports.com. It was, I think, late in 2007 or maybe early in 2008. It all runs together now. But there I was writing articles called blogs about the Orioles at a place that most people didn’t know even existed back then. But I put in the time and effort then and now, too, and here I am about 17 years later
