Mark Zuckerman
Masn
The notion of scribbling out potential lineups for the 2025 Nationals has seemed pointless most of the offseason, because there were too many vacancies still to fill, vacancies in prime spots in the batting order. It may still be too early to attempt this exercise, because more moves are possible between now and the first day of spring training, es
This O's reliever probably had a stronger 2024 season than many thought

Orioles
O’s lefty reliever Keegan Akin had a strong 2022 season with a 3.20 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Then he dealt with lower back issues much of the next season and in 23 2/3 innings had an ERA of 6.85 and 1.78 WHIP. He pitched just two innings after June 28. So fans might not have known what to expect of him in 2024. At Birdland Caravan last January, Akin told

In Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson the Orioles have two young, talented players that could be considered faces of this franchise. Two players that were their first two selections in the 2019 MLB Draft. The first two players selected by Mike Elias after he was hired by the Orioles.

Bell returns to D.C. focused on maximining power stroke

Josh Bell first came to the Nationals, not by choice, on Christmas Eve 2020. Traded to Washington by the Pirates franchise that drafted him nine years earlier, he quickly embraced the team and the town and openly spoke of his desire to stay here for the long haul. That, of course, didn’t happen. And it again wasn’t by his choice. The Nats included
