Good morning, Camden Chatters. The first day of the winter meetings is behind us, and so far there’s been a lot more talk than action, both for the Orioles and the rest of MLB. The only player who signed a major league contract yesterday was Daison Acosta with the Padres. “Who?” you ask, which is […]

Will the Orioles actually sign a difference-making starting pitcher this offseason? I’ll believe this is going to happen when I see it happen. They do at least seem to be staying active in checking around on many of the remaining names seen as being near the top end of the market this winter. The Baltimore […]

Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! If you’re looking for Orioles news, there isn’t much. They ended last week with a pair of waiver claims. Will Robertson joins the team from the Pirates, and Drew Romo from the Rockies. Romo is a 24-year-old catcher who should only see time on the Orioles if the catastrophic catcher injuries […]

Good morning Birdland, We are just one day away from the beginning of the 2025 Winter Meetings. Baseball fans get pretty excited for this week.

The Orioles traded Andrew Kittredge to the Cubs at the trade deadline last July. Baltimore received a 17-year-old shortstop prospect, and Chicago gained a veteran reliever with a club option for 2026. The Cubs could have kept Kittredge around for the upcoming season, but Baltimore wanted him back. The Orioles reacquired the 35-year-old by sending […]

It’s no secret that the 2025 Orioles offense underperformed. For all the talent on the roster, which helped the team win 192 games from 2023-24, things did not gel. None of us knows exactly why both the vibes and the performance were lackluster, but I know one thing that would help: Kyle Schwarber. Look, I’m […]

On his last night as an Oriole, about ten players pulled up chairs around Ryan O’Hearn’s locker at Camden Yards. They all knew what was coming: the trade deadline was hours away, and their teammate was about to be dealt. So they sat, talked shop, and said their goodbyes to a player who’d become a […]

The reliever market is starting to move after a very slow month of November. The New York Mets got on the ball quickly, adding long-time Brewers closer Devin Williams on Monday, while the Baltimore Orioles signed Ryan Helsley last week after the Tigers had been linked as one of many teams interested in the hard-throwing […]

While pitching was clearly the Orioles’ biggest need coming into this offseason, that doesn’t mean the offense was without its holes. After all, Baltimore went from having Top 10 offenses in 2023 and 2024 to the 24th offense in baseball last year. After the trade deadline saw Ramón Laureano, Ryan O’Hearn and Cedric Mullins head […]

Sent east along with Doby were starting pitcher Jack Harshman, minor league hurler Russ Heman and young slugger Jim Marshall. In return from the Orioles, the White […]

Now that Ryan Helsley has been signed to close games for the Orioles in 2026, we probably shouldn’t expect any other massive additions to the team’s bullpen. But that doesn’t mean the unit is a finished product either. For a team that claims to have postseason ambitions next season there are still far too many […]

You have one more day to sign up for Bleacher Nation Pro at half-price! Just use the code BN50 on the annual plan, and boom, half off. If you missed it, Ryan Helsley is off the board, signing a two-year, $28 million deal with the Orioles , with an opt-out in the middle. You could argue that each of Devin Williams (down year, but still great peripherals, and better seasons before that) and Pete Fairbanks (much better 2025 than Helsley) should top whatever Helsley got (with Brad Keller a ...
