Bradish now under team control through 2031
The Orioles announced that right-hander Kyle Bradish has signed a five-year contract extension with the team. The deal, which an industry source says is worth $90 million, begins next season. Bradish was originally scheduled to start Sunday’s game, but was pushed back because of the contract news, manager Craig Albernaz told reporters in Houston. Brandon […]
Just as tonight’s game with the Houston Astros was beginning, the Orioles announced that they have signed starting pitcher Kyle Bradish to a five-year contract extension. The deal starts with the 2027 season. Bradish had been slated to become a free agent in the 2029 season, so the deal keeps him under team control for […]
The Baltimore Orioles announced Saturday that starting pitcher Kyle Bradish has signed a five-year extension that will keep him under contract through the 2031 season.
The Orioles are in unprecedented territory, carrying a season-best five-game winning streak into today’s game. What do you say we make it six? The Birds’ second-half opener last night wasn’t the most crisply played affair, with nine walks by the O’s pitching staff and a nearly non-existent offensive showing, but Taylor Ward’s dramatic, eighth-inning home […]
The Orioles completed their 2026 draft class across 20 rounds on July 11 and 12. This year’s class has 20 players in it, one for each round. The next step is to get players signed and into the organization. In most cases, that’s going to be settled before the trade deadline. The signing deadline this […]
TODAY’S GAME: The Astros will play their 100th game of the season today as they host the Orioles for the middle game of their three-game series at Daikin Park. RHP Spencer Arrighetti (7-5) will get his first start of the second half today opposite the Orioles and starter LHP Trevor Rogers (6-7). THE STOPPER: RHP […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 4, Nashville (Brewers) 2 This one started out with Cade Povich doing Cade Povich things, namely giving up home runs. Fortunately, although he gave up two of them, each was a solo shot, so on the whole, his outing was fine: Two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. One of the Orioles storylines as the second half begins is that they’re going to have to find a […]
Good morning Birdland, The All-Star break is over, and the Orioles got right back into the action with a 3-2 win on Friday night in Houston. It wasn’t the most dominant performance you’ll ever see. The six pitchers that O’s manager Craig Albernaz deployed really had to battle, and the offense was rather quiet until […]
Cam Sanders, in his O's debut, got his first MLB win
10:58pm: The clubs officially announced the trade. Bassitt has been moved to the 60-day injured list as the corresponding 40-man roster move. He has been sidelined since June 5 with a back injury that required minor surgery a few weeks ago. Manager Craig Albernaz said this afternoon that the veteran righty is throwing long toss […]
We’re into the second half of the season now, folks (not numerically, just post All-Star break), a stretch where a bunch of contending teams are going to go head-to-head in an attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff. So which one are the Orioles? More chaff than wheat … but only for the first […]
The second half of the season is officially underway. Unfortunately for Houston, they’ve started off on the wrong foot, disappointing the assembled crowd of 31,867 with a late inning blown lead. Orioles 3 Astros 2. The Orioles have now won five in a row and have passed Houston in the wildcard standings. Peter […]
It is Friday night. The Orioles have won a fifth straight game. No, really! Taylor Ward hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning, helping the O’s in a game where they only got five hits. A parade of pitchers, starting with Dean Kremer and including brand new Oriole Cam Sanders, contributed to holding […]
If you recall, prior to the All-Star break the Orioles had just climbed a hurdle they’d failed to yet surpass: a four-game win streak. Now, they’re a bit battered and bruised, what with late-inning relievers Ryan Helsley and Keegan Akin on the shelf, and hottest-hitter-of-late Blaze Alexander sidelined, sadly, with a fractured hand, thanks to […]
TONIGHT’S GAME: The Astros will open the second half of play tonight at Daikin Park as they welcome in the Orioles for a three-game series. RHP Peter Lambert (8-5), the Astros most consistent starter of the first half, will get the start for Houston opposite RHP Dean Kremer (1-2) and the Orioles. RIDING THE LAMBO: […]
The Orioles recalled right-hander Cam Sanders from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday before they play Houston in the first game after the All-Star break. Sanders was purchased from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. In 15 games over the last two seasons with the Pirates, Sanders had an 8.44 ERA. He replaces left-hander Nick Raquet, who was […]
It’s hard to believe, considering how poorly the Orioles often played before the All-Star break, that they begin the second half still within shouting distance of a postseason spot. But the American League is, let’s face it, a giant mess. And so, as the O’s resume their 2026 schedule after their four-day break, they sit […]
Given where we are, it’s funny to be this mad about a season, and still be potential buyers. The Orioles have played ugly-looking baseball all season—too many K’s, too many caught stealings, too many boneheaded defensive maneuvers, the stars aren’t popping and the bullpen’s been dreadful—yet they still limped into the All-Star break with a […]
Hello, friends. Are you ready to start to think about the 2027 Orioles? This isn’t a statement about the team’s postseason chances. Rather, MLB released the regular season schedules for every team for next year, setting Orioles Opening Day for March 25 for a season that will run through September 26. That’s early! The looming […]
With the Orioles’ second half of the season about to begin at Houston on Friday night, let’s look at some questions about what happened in the first half and could happen in the second half. Who was the most surprising player of the first half? I have three picks. First, it’s Blaze Alexander, whom we […]
The Orioles on Thursday placed Blaze Alexander on the 10-day injured list with a broken left hand. Alexander, who’s played six positions so far this season, was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning of Sunday’s game against Kansas City by Lucas Ercag. The move is retroactive to Monday. Alexander is hitting .312 with […]
The Orioles released their 2027 schedule on Thursday, and they’ll open at Tropicana Field against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday March 25th. In an oddity, they’ll have March 28th, Easter Sunday, off and will open their home season on March 29th against the Toronto Blue Jays. The home interleague opponents are Miami (April 23rd-25th), […]
