Latest news and updates about the Orioles
Yesterday, The Baltimore Banner reported that Jordan Westburg has undergone elbow imaging, indicating that there was concern about damage to ligaments. On Friday morning, Orioles GM Mike Elias delivered the official news about what’s going on with Westburg’s elbow. The infielder has been diagnosed with a partial tear in his ulnar collateral ligament. That’s the […]

The start of spring training signing of Chris Bassitt to get him into the Orioles starting rotation has made the role of a couple of incumbent O’s pitchers much less certain. If the team makes it through spring training without any injuries to the rotation mix – a big if – what happens to Tyler […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. I’ve got good news and bad news for you, Orioles fans. The good news is that baseball is happening today! The O’s will play the Yankees in their Grapefruit League opener in Sarasota at 1:05. The game will be broadcast on MASN and WBAL radio as the Orioles return to the […]
Jordan Westburg reported to Orioles spring training and landed on the “surprise offseason injury” list immediately with a reported sore oblique. Within the last day, rumors swirled up out of places that aren’t usually worth taking seriously as sources of reliable baseball information about concerns about Westburg’s elbow. Unfortunately, those concerns have now hit the […]
The Grapefruit League schedule is upon us. From February 20 through March 23, the Orioles will be playing near-daily games to help them get ready for Opening Day on March 26. Over the course of camp, cuts will gradually be made until they get down to the 26-man roster at the end. Young players and […]
The Orioles outfield is completely remade going into the 2026 season, with Colton Cowser now the full time CF and Taylor Ward brought in to man LF. However, the Orioles outfielder I am most excited to see take the field in 2026 is rookie Dylan Beavers. The 24-year-old former Cal Golden Bear comes into 2026 […]
Hello, friends. There are now 35 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. That’s just five weeks away. Something vaguely resembling an Orioles game will be available on your television or other streaming device tomorrow with the opening of the Grapefruit League schedule. This also means that today is the last day that there will just […]
Action is starting to pick up in spring camp as the beginning of Grapefruit League play looms ahead this weekend. The Tigers will kick off their 2026 spring schedule on Saturday at 1:05 p.m. ET on the road against the Yankees. Then they’ll welcome in the Orioles and the Twins on Sunday and Monday at […]
The Orioles made some big time moves over the offseason. Pete Alonso should provide legitimate protection to Baltimore’s other top hitters. Ryan Helsley knows what it takes to close out games in big spots, and the organization continues to hype up trade acquisition Shane Baz. These guys are the type of difference makers that can […]
Here at Camden Chat, we have been posting a question of the day every day for a few weeks now. Most of these questions asked your thoughts about the upcoming season, but today I want to look backward and ask you, “What is your favorite Orioles memory?” We have baseball fans of all ages here, […]
Good Morning Birdland, There are just two days left until an actual game is played down in Florida, kicking off this year’ Grapefruit League action. The Orioles and Yankees will face off in Sarasota at 1:05 pm on Friday. That one will be broadcast on MASN and WBAL Radio. Hopefully many of us are able […]
The current buzz out of Sarasota has seemingly shifted from which players the Orioles may add to the roster to who may soon be heading out the door. MLB Insider Ken Rosenthal recently reported that, after further fortifying the pitching rotation with veteran Chris Bassitt, the O’s have now turned their attention to potential trades […]
All of this offseason talk around the Orioles’ “need” for an ace seems to ignore the fact that they already have one in-house. Kyle Bradish was one of the best pitchers in the league back in 2023. That year saw him post a 2.83 ERA over 168.2 innings, finishing fourth in AL Cy Young voting. […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. As we start to tick through the key dates leading up to the start of the 2026 baseball season, the Orioles arrived at one such benchmark yesterday by holding their first full-squad workout. The whole team has now reported to Sarasota for spring training, greeting old friends and meeting new ones. […]
We’re exactly one week away from the start of spring training games, with the Baltimore Orioles hosting the New York Yankees in the very first exhibition game on February 20th. First pitch for that one is 12:05 CST, with the Chicago Cubs hosting the second earliest practice game, a “crosstown” affair against the White Sox, […] The post Chicago Cubs Strongly Favored to Win the NL Central Division appeared first on The Sports Bank .
So much of the offseason conversation around the Orioles pertained to their rotation. The unit was a failure in 2025 for a myriad of reasons, and the team’s President of Baseball Operations Mike Elias vowed to address them over the winter. To Elias’ credit, he certainly made moves with the rotation in mind, but he […]
The Orioles addressed a lot of needs this offseason. They brought on Pete Alonso, one of the splashiest signings of the offseason, period. They signed a bona fide lockdown closer in Ryan Helsley. They added a corner bat in Taylor Ward. But with spring training games just days away, one question keeps nagging: Is the […]
Happy President’s Day, Camden Chatters! If you’ve got the day off from work today, I hope you use it wisely. I plan to do some relaxing. We are now just four days from the first Spring Training game of the season. This Friday, the Orioles kick off their Grapefruit League season at home against the […]
The Nationals finally made a free agent signing to their bullpen, bringing in Cionel Perez on a minor league deal. This is different from the other minor league deals they have signed, as Perez has a good chance of making the team. Before a disastrous 2025, Perez was a mainstay in the Orioles bullpen. If […]
The Orioles made a significant effort over the offseason to shore up multiple positions. The team boosted its starting pitching depth by adding Shane Baz, Chris Bassitt and Zach Eflin. Baltimore added Ryan Helsley and Andrew Kittredge to help in the late innings. The O’s added plenty of power with Pete Alonso and Taylor Ward, […]
Hello, friends. There are now 39 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. It’s only one day more until all position players are required to report to camp, and on Friday, the Grapefruit League schedule will begin for the O’s. We have made it to the week that has something resembling Major League Baseball, even if […]
With Opening Day only 40 days away, we are winding down on what has been a busy Orioles offseason. Punctuated by the big-money signing of slugger Pete Alonso, the 2026 offseason has seen the O’s bring in Alonso, Ryan Helsley, Chriss Bassit, Zach Eflin and Leody Taveras through free agency, while trading for Taylor Ward, […]
Good morning Birdland, The Winter Olympics do not have the same appeal as the Summer Games. While nearly all of us can relate to the athletes running, swimming, jumping, and playing various ball sports in the sweltering heat of the summer, far fewer can sympathize with the snow-focused events that required a whole lot more […]
The Royals announced they have signed left-handed pitcher John Means to a two-year minor league deal. Means is a Gardner, Kansas native who was an All-Star with the Orioles in 2019, but has battled injuries the last four seasons. Means graduated from Gardner-Edgerton High School and attended Fort Scott Community College before being drafted by […]
