Baseball's Hot Stove may be about to really get going
Steve Melewski
Orioles
It has been a somewhat slow Hot Stove season thus far in terms of signings. But the stove may be really about to get hot. The biggest free agent prize – outfielder Juan Soto – may be close to signing and it could happen during the Winter Meetings that begin on Monday. He has been the most talked about player this offseason and that will hold up unt

Roch Kubatko
Orioles

Who will get more starts in center field next season, Cedric Mullins or Colton Cowser? The immediate response is Mullins because he’s exclusively a center fielder and Cowser is first in line for lef

What's the Nats' catching plan now after retaining Adams?
Mark Zuckerman
Masn
The predominant headline two weeks ago at the non-tender deadline was the Nationals’ decision not to retain Kyle Finnegan and Tanner Rainey. Drawing less attention at the time was their decision to retain six other arbitration-eligible players: Luis Garcia Jr., MacKenzie Gore, Josiah Gray, Derek Law, Riley Adams and Mason Thompson. Perhaps the most
Rummaging through another Orioles mailbag
Roch Kubatko
Orioles
Rather than let the mailbag fill until it overflows like a clogged sink, I’ve decided to share a few more questions this morning to keep it at a reasonable level. I sense a little fan impatience because the Orioles haven’t made a big move or one that fits as a medium, but offers reportedly were made for starting pitching and the Winter Meetings cou
