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 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 […]

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 […]

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.

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. […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

It’s become something of an annual tradition in Birdland: the hot stove season heats up, the rumor mill churns out names of frontline starters, and Orioles fans allow themselves to dream. This year, it was Framber Valdez, the crafty lefty who’s been one of baseball’s most reliable arms. Mike Elias’s comments earlier this offseason suggested […]

After a 2024 season where Gunnar Henderson was one of the best players in all of MLB, Orioles fans could be hopeful he’d be able to repeat at that elite level. It didn’t work out that way, with Henderson having a still pretty good but nowhere near MVP-level season. We know now, from Henderson’s own […]
