Orioles opening day roster projection. C: Rutschman, Basallo INF: Alonso, Henderson, Mayo, Alexander, Mountcastle, Vázquez OF: Cowser, Ward, O'Neill, Beavers, Taveras P: Rogers, Bradish, Baz, Bassitt, Kremer/Helsley, Wells, Akin, Cano, Enns, Garcia, Wolfram, Kowar www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Update: Coby Mayo slices another single into left field, and scores two runs. He's 3 for 3 today, adding to his team-leading total of 12 base hits (in 25 at-bats) this spring.

Coby Mayo has been hot at the plate all spring, but he just launched his first homer of the season -- a 434-foot monster on the first pitch of his first at-bat today. Mayo is playing on the Florida Coast where he grew up playing travel ball. He's feeling juiced today.

With Giana and Jonas -- recapping Day 1 of free agency as the Ravens lost key pieces. Should they have made a stronger offer to Tyler Linderbaum? Will they regret cutting Keaton Mitchell loose? How should they replace the guys who walked? We tackle these and more: www.thebanner.com/sports/raven...

“I was fired up watching it. It was so cool — so cool for Gunnar and also the rest of the fans to see what Gunnar can do on the big stage and be the impact player we all know he is.” We’ve seen Playoff Gunnar before. The Orioles need to make sure we see him again: www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Exciting stuff for Landon, Navy’s All-American DL who is training with the guy who everyone tells him to model his game after. Landon told me last fall that he became obsessed with Donald’s film once he noticed their physical similarities. (Full story: www.thebanner.com/sports/colle...)

After a few Es yesterday, quite a nice bounceback by Coby Mayo who is playing third base. A few good stops and throws, a diving catch to his left on a hard liner, and just now a hard double to the left field corner at the plate.

Winners and losers from the Maxx Crosby trade: Ravens’ pass rush, Lamar Jackson and John Harbaugh

Lionel Messi is set to play at M&T Bank Stadium this afternoon Beware of field invaders 👀

Jackson Holliday, recovering from a fractured hamate bone, said he hit 40 balls off a tee today, and he hopes to be hitting within the next week or so. “I may be able to push ‘em a little bit, depending on how I’m feeling.”

BREAKING: The Ravens are trading for 5x Pro Bowl edge rusher Maxx Crosby, per multiple reports Baltimore is reportedly sending the No. 14 pick and more draft compensation to Las Vegas

not going to say I manifested this but

Vance Honeycutt’s HR streak has ended at 4 homers in 4 at-bats … … but he hit a single to center, so he has yet to make an out at the plate this spring, 5 for 5 with a walk.

@giana-jade.bsky.social breaks down how Baltimore can handle Jackson's massive cap hit

Chris Bassitt threw three innings with 2Ks, a hit, a walk and no earned runs allowed. Talking about the Orioles rotation, Bassitt said "I think we're very underrated. ... I would rather be a stealth bomber, so to speak, and not have anybody talk about us. Just surprise people."

Why shouldn't the Baltimore Ravens trade for Maxx Crosby? Because it would be too awesome? Here are a bunch of reasons why Eric DeCosta and company should pull the trigger on a blockbuster that would change the vibe of this defense overnight: www.thebanner.com/sports/raven...

The numbers are starting to tell the story we’ve been hearing from people for months. Constant job cuts with no real or comparable opportunities to replace them.

Predicting which free agents will sign in Baltimore | Banner Ravens Podcast

It was a weird sight to see Brandon Hyde in Tampa Bay blue. Weirder still for the ex-Os skipper to see his club playing without him. Looking back on his last season, Hyde said, " I wish I would have done more to help in certain ways" but he still keeps his pride: www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Solid first outing of the spring for Zach Eflin after back surgery: Threw 40 pitches (21 strikes) over 2.0 innings with 3Ks and one walk. High of 94 mph and overall threw harder than last season.

Reliever Andrew Kitteridge talked today about the shoulder injury that is expected to cause him to miss the start of the season: He said it has been “barking” but every conversation he’s had with trainers and doctors is that it is not too serious. He hopes to resume throwing soon.

This spring, Vance Honeycutt is 4 for 4. Four at-bats. Four home runs. The 22-year-old’s stunning streak in Sarasota is turning heads. Honeycutt hopes it’s a sign that his slow-starting career might finally take off: www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Let's face it: It doesn't make sense for Isaiah Likely to re-sign with the Ravens, argues Jonas Shaffer

COLUMN: An ownership group's money is only good if the owners (and their front office) are willing to spend it. It's time for the Orioles to make use of the resources they say they have, writes @kylegoon.bsky.social.

Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday suffers hand injury, likely to miss several weeks of regular season www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

The Orioles keep saying how the David Rubenstein-led ownership group gives them the power to spend at will on big moves. So spend it on an ace, then. Don’t talk about how much money you have only to strike out on the top pitching free agents. Again: www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

.@kylegoon asked Mike Elias whether missing out on a top-end starting pitcher was a disappointment given the stated offseason goal. "I think we have a really good group," Elias said of the rotation, although he added that they remain involved in trade and free agent markets.

Gov. Wes Moore said on Friday he plans to sign bills banning agreements between federal immigration agencies and local jails. The so-called 287(g) agreements allow locals to flag noncitizens for ICE upon arrest, not conviction, and hold them for up to 48 hours. www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...
