Nationals
From the moment the Nationals declared his season over due to lingering soreness in his shoulder, Cade Cavalli has been itching to get back on a mound and start pitching again. He hasn’t quite reached that point yet in his offseason throwing program, but that’s not for lack of desire on his part. “Cade said he’s ready to fire the ball, and I told h
A handful of Orioles questions that remain unanswered

Orioles
The Orioles experienced a quiet Friday in terms of transactions. There were none. Executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias has been in contact with a large number of agents and executives throughout the offseason, and it’s hardly the kind of news that qualifies as “breaking.” This is front office due diligence that we often talk about, e
Frazier eager to join "an exciting young team" in Baltimore

The Orioles have arranged a video introduction in a few days between Adam Frazier and their hitting coaches who want to learn more about him before they tackle the reasons why his offensive production took a nosedive this summer. The front office already has gotten ahead of the process. Frazier signed a one-year, $8 million contract on Thursday to

Matt Blood just completed his third season as the Orioles' director of player development, and the minor league system he oversees is now ranked No. 1 in the majors by a few outlets. Blood's first season included having to deal with a pandemic that caused the cancellation of all minor league baseball in 2020. He came to the Orioles from the Texas R
Fate of 2023 Nats doesn't fall on offseason additions
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
The Nationals’ offseason moves to date have been, well, less than inspired. They signed Jeimer Candelario for one year and $5 million, then Trevor Williams for two years and $13 million. They acquired, via the Rule 5 draft and the waiver wire, unproven players named Thad Ward, Stone Garrett and A.J. Alexy. They brought back sentimental favorites Se
This, that and the other

With so much attention thrown at the Orioles’ rotation and the free-agent starters who keep signing with other clubs, Adam Frazier looked like a guy yesterday sneaking through the back door. The Orioles signed Frazier to a one-year, $8 million contract, increasing their offseason spending on the major league roster to $18 million. Left-handed bats

The Nationals are close to finalizing a deal to bring Erasmo Ramirez back for the 2023 season, re-signing an invaluable member of this season’s pitching staff. There remain a few more details to sort out before the deal is announced, including the removal of someone else from the club’s 40-man roster to open a slot, but a source confirmed the two s

It’s a bit unusual for a seven-year veteran to depart a playoff team and sign a multi-year deal with a rebuilding organization. But that’s exactly what Trevor Williams did when he agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Nationals over the weekend after spending the last two seasons with the Mets. Although he was left off the Mets roster for
