Orioles full of offseason surprises

Making the qualifying offer to Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander probably was the most predictable act performed by the Orioles since the playoffs. Tendering contracts to the top players on their arbitration list also could be seen from miles.   Like any offseason, there also have been a fair share of surprises. Here are a batch, in no particular

A new Baseball America O’s top 10 prospects list dropped this week. Before or even after you get to your Turkey today, take a look at the list and a few thoughts on each player. 1 – Catcher Samuel Basallo: The big man with the big bat ascends to the top spot.

What the Nationals are thankful for today

OK, maybe this hasn’t been as great a year as many probably hoped it would be. There’s still plenty to be thankful for today, though, right? Of course there is. Even as it pertains to baseball, which may not be back to the level we’d all prefer but undoubtedly is trending in the right direction at last, with the ultimate payoff perhaps not as far o
Leftovers for Thanksgiving breakfast

The turkey will be the star today in many households, but I’m more of a sides guy. They can make or break a meal. Trading for or signing a starter the caliber of Corbin Burnes, if not actually him, would be baseball’s turkey. The same goes for a big right-handed bat. Three more minor league signings on Monday were sides. The Orioles didn’t make any

O's are counting on big improvement from some of their youngest players
Steve Melewski
Orioles
The trend for O’s young players and some of the top prospects in the last year or two has been to come to the big leagues and struggle initially. It doesn’t happen every time, but it has happened a lot of the time. Right-hander Grayson Rodriguez and outfielder Colton Cowser are two prime examples. In his first 10 MLB starts during the 2023 season,
Taking another shot at Orioles spring storylines
Roch Kubatko
Orioles
The Orioles set their coaching staff. They have a ways to go before they can say the same about their roster. Pitchers and catchers report in February – it’s usually somewhere in the second week – and more storylines will materialize as we plow through the offseason. I’ve already provided a sampling - how Heston Kjerstad and Coby Mayo fit on the ro

Random take Tuesday

We found out yesterday that former O’s backup catcher Robinson Chirinos and the O’s Triple-A manager Buck Britton, are joining their big league coaching staff. Those hires no doubt will be most popular in the clubhouse. A clubhouse that Chirinos shared in 2022 with Adley Rutschman, Ryan Mountcastle, Gunnar Henderson, Cedric Mullins, Dean Kremer, Ky
