#Ryan O'Hearn

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…

A new era begins with former Cardinals manager Mike Matheny taking over in the dugout and John Sherman taking over in the boardroom after buying the team from David Glass.

The Royals just saw the A's during their long trip to the West Coast and now they're being hospitable by inviting them over for a stay at their place. The two teams will match up this weekend with nothing more than a draft lottery spot on the line, if we're being honest. Since these two teams just met and the series is about as interesting as…

Following their loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, the Kansas City Royals are 14-28 on the season. You read that right: Kansas City's win total is the same amount of games the club is below.500 in 2022. Things aren't going particularly well for a team that expected to improve on 2021's mark of 74-88. That was a 45.7% win rate, and this…

There are just 24 days until Opening Day, but as spring training opens up, most teams aren't even sure who will be in their organization by then. A 99-day transaction freeze has caused teams to compress what would usually take most of an off-season into a few weeks.
