Latest news and updates about the Orioles
Is it on TV? Yes, it’s on NESN, first pitch at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? How about this infield configuration, huh? For most of this spring — including in team fielding drills outside of a game setting — Marcelo Mayer has been at second with Caleb Durbin at third. […]
Hello, friends. We have made it to the month that has real Orioles baseball! It is March and Opening Day is 25 days away. From now through the 23rd, though, the O’s will be playing near-daily exhibition games to keep getting ready for the season. A road trip to the Red Sox spring home awaits […]
Spencer Strider’s spring training debut in 2026 was certainly an intriguing one, as Strider was clearly looking to accomplish his own set of goals in this one that may not have aligned with what the public speculation may be concerning his own profile as a pitcher at the moment. As I mentioned in the game […]
It’s beginning to feel more like spring, kind of. Temperatures in Baltimore will reach nearly 60 degrees today. It’s positively balmy around here. The Orioles, of course, have been enjoying pleasant weather for a couple of weeks now, and they’re back in action in Sarasota today. Kyle Bradish will make his second start after a […]
Good morning Birdland, The final day of February has arrived. Our long wintery nightmare is nearly over. Today is expected to be a sunny one around Baltimore, with temperatures nearing 60 degrees! And while I don’t want to jinx anything, I may have taken a gander at the ever-inaccurate 10-day forecast and spotted an upcoming […]

A year ago, Cade Povich was the answer to one of the Orioles’ most pressing questions. On the final day of spring training in March 2025, the club named him their fifth starter. He was 25 years old, making his first Opening Day roster, and stepping into a rotation that needed him. Twelve months later, […]
The Orioles answered a lot of questions this offseason. The question marks surrounding the offense were addressed via the signing of Pete Alonso and the trade for Taylor Ward. Starting pitching was addressed with Shane Baz, Chris Bassitt and the resigning of Zach Eflin. The bullpen added Ryan Helsley and brought back Andrew Kittredge. But […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. I’m sorry to report that the Days Since The Last Orioles Injury counter has, unfortunately, reset to zero. Samuel Basallo was the latest member of the Birds’ young core to suffer a spring injury, leaving yesterday’s game in the top of the third inning with right side abdominal discomfort. Basallo, playing […]

The Orioles are 3-2-1 through their first six Grapefruit League games. They had a tie with the Tigers on the road back on Sunday. The two teams – with very different lineups, because it’s early in spring training and this one is in Sarasota instead – will be back at it again today. This game […]
Last week, Camden Chat’s Tyler Young wrote of Kyle Bradish: “All of this offseason talk around the Orioles’ ‘need’ for an ace seems to ignore the fact that they already have one in-house.” I’d venture to say they might even have two. That belief, of course, depends on how much you’re banking on Trevor Rogers’ […]
Hello, friends. Today marks exactly one month until Orioles Opening Day! The team will be playing exhibition games from now through March 23 to get ready for that. After yesterday’s 4-3 victory over the Rays, the Orioles are now 3-2-1 in Grapefruit League action. Awaiting today is a 1:05 game against the Tigers that will […]
After a three-day hiatus from our television screens, the Orioles are back on the air this afternoon with a MASN broadcast against the Rays. Trevor Rogers becomes the first O’s starter to make an encore appearance this spring after opening with two scoreless innings against the Yankees last Friday. He’ll take on another AL East […]
It’s a real rush following a team that’s active in free agency. The Orioles flushed a disappointing 2025 by making several moves that should significantly improve the team this season. The Pete Alonso deal rivaled the Corbin Burnes trade as the most exciting offseason acquisition in recent memory. The Birds brought in an established closer, […]
The Orioles made a lot of noise this offseason, and Pete Alonso arriving on a big contract was the loudest noise of all. The Polar Bear gives Baltimore a genuine middle-of-the-order presence that the offense sorely lacked in 2025. But his arrival also created a puzzle at first base that the front office has yet […]
Good Morning Birdland, Yesterday was one of those spring days where the Orioles were playing a game in one Florida town, while most of the news was happening back in Sarasota. A split squad of O’s was sent to Fort Myers for a matchup with the Twins. It went well! A six-run first inning led […]

After having the 2025 season derailed largely due to injuries, the news that came out of Sarasota last Friday was the last thing Birdland wanted to hear: Jordan Westburg is set to miss the first month with a partial UCL tear that could end up costing him the whole season. As our Mark Brown wrote […]
Do you remember how you felt when you heard that the Orioles signed Pete Alonso to a five-year contract? Shock was my biggest feeling. Alonso is an actual star and not the kind of player the Orioles have gone after in a long time. Alonso has been an All-Star for the last four seasons. He’s […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. We’re four days into the Grapefruit League season, still at the point where every team has roughly 10,000 players in camp and the regulars are getting sporadic half-days of work. That’s good, because yesterday’s 10-7 loss to the Braves was not the most sterling pitching performance for the Birds. The O’s […]
The Atlanta Braves didn’t send a particularly imposing group of players to Sarasota to face off against the Baltimore Orioles but that didn’t matter too much in the end. The first two hurlers for the Braves helped make sure that the Orioles were unable to set off too many fireworks at their own spring training […]
The first weekend of the Grapefruit League season for the Atlanta Braves has come and gone and now we’re starting to get into the swing of things (for lack of a better term) as routine starts to set in here in the early goings. The Braves are now in Sarasota with Garrett Baumann serving as […]
The team that the Orioles have assembled ahead of the 2026 season is strong. It’s not perfect, but there is plenty of upside, and it seems like the front office has done a decent job of building in depth to help absorb the injuries that have already come. However, one area that has left some […]
The last few years have been filled with stories about Baltimore’s young talent. The Orioles developed three youngsters into the top prospect in baseball. Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday have all made their major league debut. Jordan Westburg, Colton Cowser, Samuel Basallo, and Coby Mayo have too. Henderson immediately set the bar rather […]
