Orioles count down the hours until trade deadline; O’s-Phillies lineups

BALTIMORE—Orioles first base coach Jason Bourgeois played for six teams in his eight-year major league career. Although he moved around often, he never changed teams at the trade deadline. There’s so much uncertainty involving the Orioles as they prepare for Sunday’s final game of a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. No one knows how […]

Orioles’ Albernaz on Kremer: ‘He’s made a great impact’; Trevor Rogers reacts to Kremer, deadline; Hiraldo recalled

BALTIMORE—Manager Craig Albernaz will miss starting pitcher Dean Kremer, who was traded by the Orioles to the Minnesota Twins for 18-year-old minor league outfielder Jhomnardo Reyes late Friday night. “It’s part of the game, and the initial reactions were a little bit of shock,” Albernaz said. Albernaz was not present when the 30-year-old right-hander was […]

Henderson’s 2-run triple lifts Orioles past Phillies, 6-4, as wild-card race tightens; Kremer traded to Twins

BALTIMORE—Before Friday night’s game, president of baseball operations Mike Elias emphasized how important the three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies was with the trade deadline coming on Monday at 6 p.m. The Orioles began the game three games under .500 and trailed by two runs in the bottom of the seventh. But after a stirring […]

Orioles trade Dean Kremer to Twins for minor league outfielder

BALTIMORE—The Orioles on Friday traded starting pitcher Dean Kremer to the Minnesota Twins for 18-year-old minor league outfielder Jhomnardo Reyes. Kremer, who came to the Orioles in the trade that sent Manny Machado to the Los Angeles Dodgers in July 2018, missed much of this season with a strained right quadriceps muscle. He was 1-4 […]

Orioles’ Elias on trade deadline: ‘Not a strong bias’ on buying or selling; Cano signs 2-year extension; Injury update

BALTIMORE—The trade deadline is Monday at 6 p.m., and the Orioles have an important three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies before then. “We are watching game-by-game,” Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias said on Friday. “This has turned out to be kind of razor-wire situation going into this deadline. We’re 2 ½ out. We’re […]

Orioles activate catcher Jake Rogers, designate Chadwick Tromp for assignment

The Orioles activated catcher Jake Rogers, who was acquired from Detroit on Thursday for minor league right-hander Zane Barnhart, before Friday’s home game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rogers will replace catcher Chadwick Tromp on both the 26- and 40-man rosters. Tromp was designated for assignment on Friday. In nine games, Tromp hit .125 (3-for-24) with […]

Calling the Pen: Will it be a fun four-day weekend for the Orioles?

Homer Simpson once was told that if he didn’t come to work on Friday, don’t bother coming in on Monday. As only Homer could, his reaction was, “Woohoo! Four-day weekend!” The Orioles are entering their own four-day weekend that could determine their immediate and long-term future. There are three games to play against the Phillies, […]

Checking in with former Orioles reliever Darren O’Day

Darren O’Day was one of the best relievers in Orioles history. From 2012-2018, O’Day appeared in 391 games, fifth most in team history. His sidearm throwing style, and being a part of some historically great bullpens made him a fan favorite. O’Day was in Baltimore last weekend, broadcasting for the Atlanta Braves, and he’ll be […]

Must the Orioles trade Trevor Rogers and Taylor Ward? | MAILBAG

Question: Isn’t it bad business and organizational malfeasance not to trade everyone on a last-year contract at the trade deadline? An exception would be a World Series contender. I’m a Taylor Ward fan and a big Trevor Rogers fan, but to get nothing for them after the season seems foolish. Even if the Orioles traded […]

Orioles acquire catcher Jake Rogers from Tigers

Seeking still another upgrade to their catching, the Orioles acquired Jake Rogers from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for minor league right-hander Zane Barnhart. Rogers, who hasn’t reported, will need to be added to both the 26- and 40-man rosters. The right-handed hitter had been designated for assignment by the Tigers on Tuesday. Originally drafted […]

Orioles should not extend Gunnar Henderson now | MAILBAG

Question: One of your responses regarding Gunnar Henderson is about his agent, Scott Boras, who rarely/never has his clients accept an extension until free agency. It would seem to me that if the Orioles were to offer an extension to Henderson, both he and his agent would be wise to accept it. Gunnar’s performance certainly […]

With deadline drawing nearer, trade talk surrounds Orioles

With Monday’s trade deadline rapidly approaching, there’s more and more chatter involving the Orioles. On Tuesday, before the Orioles’ awful 14-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers, ESPN’s Jeff Passan said that the team had engaged in trade talks discussing catcher Adley Rutschman, second baseman Jackson Holliday and centerfielder Colton Cowser. Rutschman, who’s on the 10-day […]

Orioles’ bullpen continues to shine in crucial spots

The Orioles’ 8-5 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night was important. Every game they’re playing this week is important. The trade deadline is August 3rd at 6 p.m., and the Orioles must be a true contender in order for them to be aggressive at the deadline. There are five games remaining between now […]

Should the Orioles have re-signed Ryan O’Hearn? | MAILBAG

Question: The trade of Ryan O’Hearn to the Padres at the trade deadline in 2025 looks worse and worse. And I don’t believe that any of the players we got in exchange for him and Ramón Laureano are doing anything in our system. How terrific would his bat look in this lineup? From: Stacey Kagan […]

Orioles’ Bassitt, Mountcastle to begin rehab assignments; Rodriguez traded to Pirates

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz told reporters in Detroit before Monday night’s game that starting pitcher Chris Bassitt and first baseman/designated hitter Ryan Mountcastle will begin rehab assignments with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. Bassitt, who had back surgery, and Mountcastle, who fractured his left foot in April, are both on the 60-day injured list. Pitchers are […]

Eager for offense, Orioles add catcher Yohel Pozo, designate Sam Huff for assignment

Eager to add some offense to the catching position while Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo are out, the Orioles on Monday recalled catcher Yohel Pozo from Double-A Chesapeake and designated catcher Sam Huff for assignment. Pozo was claimed off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. With Basallo and Rutschman on the 10-day injured […]

Orioles need wins to win over disappointed fanbase

Everywhere I turn on social media, I read comments from friends who are disheartened with the current version of the Orioles. Many of them say that they find this team the most difficult to like of any Orioles team. That’s an interesting comment because individually it’s one of the more likable teams in recent years. […]

Will Orioles extend Trevor Rogers? | MAILBAG

Question: Trevor Rogers has said many times he wants to remain with the Orioles. He is actually a year younger than Kyle Bradish and has been very good the last two seasons. It’s time to extend him. Do you think Mike Elias will? From: Mike Beale Answer: Mike, I think Trevor Rogers deserves an extension, […]

Alonso takes the blame as Orioles lose another 1-run game, 3-2 to Braves in 11

BALTIMORE—Pete Alonso was at his locker waiting as the Orioles’ clubhouse door opened, and as usual after difficult losses eagerly took his share of responsibility. In the 10th inning of a 2-2 tie with the Atlanta Braves, the Orioles had the bases loaded with none out after Alonso was walked intentionally, allowing left-hander Danny Young […]

Orioles have demanding schedule; O’s-Braves lineups

BALTIMORE—Every game seems like a “must-win” for the Orioles. There are 57 games remaining in the season and only 12 are against teams not currently in the playoff race. After Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Braves, who lead the National League East, they’ll head to Detroit for three against the resurgent Tigers and return here […]

Beavers’ 9th-inning hit is a game winner as Orioles beat Braves, 3-2

BALTIMORE—For the second straight game, Dylan Beavers batted leadoff, and on Saturday night, he provided the Orioles with a much needed game-winning single in the ninth inning. Beavers’ single to right scored Jackson Holliday from third, and lifted the Orioles to a 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves 3-2 before 37,883 at Camden Yards. The […]
