WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Pitchers and catchers had already reported to camps throughout Arizona and Florida, and Zach Davies was still sitting at home, waiting to figure out where he would be playing this season.

SARASOTA, Fla. – Cedric Mullins is healthy. Let’s start there. And he’s putting the barrel on the baseball, which figures to keep happening if he isn’t put on the injured list again. Mullins was the standout in today’s live batting practice on the Ed Smith Stadium field. He lined a Cole Irvin pitch up the middle in his first trip, nailing the botto

SARASOTA, Fla. – Jorge Mateo is ready for anything that the Orioles throw at him. He’s also prepared to catch it. Mateo won a Fielding Bible Award at shortstop in 2022 and was a notable snub in Gold Glove Award voting.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Nothing has ever been handed to Joey Meneses. He’s always had to earn his way through baseball, up to and including his long-awaited major-league debut in 2022. Which is why, even on the heels of his remarkable opening two months with the Nationals, Meneses acted last season like he still needed to prove he deserved the job.

Orioles
SARASOTA, Fla. – “It’s a normal spring training at this point.” Dillon Tate says these words in the most casual manner, without a hint of emotion in his voice or anything close to an expression. This is his usual delivery. Also quite normal for him. The media and his Orioles teammates can make a bigger deal over Tate’s return from last year’s elbow

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Mark Lerner said publicly today what had become increasingly clear over the last calendar year: His family is no longer actively attempting to sell the Nationals. “Nothing has really changed,” Lerner told the Washington Post. “We’ve just decided that it’s not the time or the place for it. We’re very happy owning the team and
