Wells finally gets second start, Norby gets noticed, Holliday just seems to get it

SARASOTA, Fla. – Tyler Wells has done most of his work on back fields and away from media fixated on Grapefruit League games. His only start before today was March 1 in North Port, when he shut out the Braves for two innings and faced only six batters after a single and double play. Twenty-three pitches, 17 strikes and 11 days until his next appear

Jackson Holliday may be closing in on an Opening Day roster spot

On Dec. 4, Jackson Holliday, the No. 1 prospect in baseball, turned 20. He was a teenager no more. The next day at the Winter Meetings in Nashville, O’s executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias let the world know the kid had a good chance to make the O's 2024 Opening Day roster. "It's definitely a very strong possibility,” Elias said

Is there room for both Rosario and Winker on Nats roster?

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – In his first at-bat as a member of the Nationals, Eddie Rosario didn’t drive the ball out of the park. He didn’t rip a line drive to center for a base hit. He hit a little dribbler toward short, one that left his bat at a not-so-scalding 49.9 mph. And then busted down the line. By the time Cardinals shortstop Brandon Crawfor

Teammates happy for Burnes to be handed ball on Opening Day

SARASOTA, Fla. – Announcing that Corbin Burnes is the Opening Day starter is like confirming salt content in the ocean or the negative effects of snorting pollen. Burnes wasn’t acquired from the Brewers to work in a supporting role. The Orioles are holding an ace. He goes on top of the deck. An elbow injury removed Kyle Bradish from any considerati
