Is it just me, or is the Orioles' roster going in circles? Yesterday the O's made a couple of surprising transactions, designating first baseman Ryan O'Hearn for assignment just two days after they'd acquired him from the Royals. To replace him, the Birds reclaimed first baseman Lewin Díaz, whom they'd claimed from the Pirates Dec. 2, then traded…

Versatility is a key attribute in small-school football. And arguably no one in the area proved more versatile, at least on defense, than Windthorst junior Brayden Berend. Throw in Berend's penchant for making big plays at receiver for the Trojan offense, and you have the profile of a classic Red River 22 small-school football Most Valuable…

Throughout the rest of the offseason, as the Orioles deliberate the best way to add another starting pitcher to the rotation, the calculus could shift the organization's thinking more toward pursuing a trade than signing a free agent. The free agent market for higher-end talent has already dwindled in that area, and Baltimore has appeared hesitant…

The Orioles' recent signing of Adam Frazier was simultaneously infuriating and intriguing. Although an All-Star in 2021, Frazier was poor for the Mariners last season, and while he might bounce back in 2023, he is far from the impact bat that this fan base was hoping a team with supposed playoff ambitions would attract this winter. However, at $8…

The Pittsburgh Pirates secured the No. 1 pick in the 2023 MLB draft in the league's first-ever draft lottery on Tuesday night. Here are the remaining teams that will pick in the top 18: 2. Washington Nationals 3. Detroit Tigers 4. Texas Rangers 5. Minnesota Twins 6. Oakland Athletics 7. Cincinnati Reds 8. Kansas City Royals 9. Colorado Rockies 10.…

Believe it or not, the Baltimore Orioles - who previously occupied dead last as a moneymaker for bettors - returned major winning potential ahead of the MLB All-Star break. The same franchise that labored to a 254-455 record, and finished a combined 191 games behind the American League East powers from 2017-2021, would have won bettors the most…

Let's get it out of the way early. I did not enjoy a stellar leadup to the All-Star Break. At the beginning of July, we won seven in a row and I felt that losing was impossible. Following that came the most average streak of all time, as it seemed I went 1-1 every day. I complained about being average, and then we were hit in the mouth with…

Baseball fans will witness the first MLB Draft lottery in history on December 6. The order of the top 18 picks will be determined at the Winter Meetings in San Diego on Tuesday, with the Washington Nationals, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Oakland Athletics sitting atop the board with the highest percentage to land the top pick of the…

It's almost draft time and that means new prospects will soon enter the fold of the Detroit Tigers organization. It also means there will be some decisions to make regarding who to take based an a number of different factors. The Tigers pick 12th overall when the draft kicks off on Sunday, July 17th. Before jumping into potential targets for…

The Orioles' 2022 playoff hopes might be on their last legs after yesterday's dismal doubleheader sweep by the Blue Jays. But there's still plenty to be excited about in Birdland, and much of it stems from a fruitful Orioles farm system that has churned out plenty of young talent throughout the year. We've already seen the impactful debuts of Adley…
