With only the Orioles now, MASN remains ‘viable,’ team official says www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Saw these kids open for Tommy Oeffling in Salt Lake City recently. Love the sound, and especially the refrain: “What am I if not myself? I’m not anything.” open.spotify.com/track/3xcZo3...

This has the Orioles 5th in the AL — 4th in the AL East — at 45 WAR, just barely behind the Red Sox (45.6) and a little further behind the Yankees (47.6) and the Blue Jays (48).

Former Oriole Trey Mancini receives a minor league deal from the Angels, source confirms, as @Ken_Rosenthal said. Mancini, 33, played 74 games in Triple-A for the Diamondbacks last year. He posted an .895 OPS in that time. He last played in the majors in 2023

Tom Brady, out of context: “A little booty tap.”

Nothing like first tracks on fresh powder. Ski the east! (Featuring my dog almost yanking my mom over)

I would respectfully argue you do want to watch it. It’s the only way to realize that the unreal is real.

Parsing the tea leaves, the “New Oriole Way” sounds a lot like the original Oriole Way. That’s because sound, fundamental baseball never goes out of style. www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Thanks to those who said hi at the volunteering event today. You guys basically pay my paycheck

Nate George is now a top-100 prospect on Baseball America (86) and MLB Pipeline (93). Quite the rise for the 16th-round pick: www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Gunnar Henderson’s shoulder impingement last season likely played a role in his power decline. Now, he says, he’s healthy and ready for the Orioles season to arrive www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Pete Alonso: “I know it’s about wins and losses, and not just this organization, but people in this city, they want it so bad. For me, I want to win a championship. I want to do whatever it takes.”

The shoulder impingement Gunnar Henderson played through last year impacted his swing plane, he said. That probably impacted his power numbers. But Henderson said he’s healthy now

Craig Albernaz said Orioles outfielder Heston Kjerstad will be a full participant this spring

Marco Luciano is claimed off waivers by the Yankees. He had been DFA’d last week. The 24-year-old played mostly left field last year but was mostly a middle infielder before that

The Orioles claimed Weston Wilson from the Phillies and DFA’d Jose Suarez. Wilson, 31, plays all over but mostly corner outfield, second and first. He hit .198 last year

Shane Baz’s refined training approach could help turn potential into results with the Orioles www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

The Orioles signed righty Hans Crouse to a minor league deal, they say. Crouse, 27, pitched for the Angels in 2024, posting a 2.84 ERA in 25 1/3 innings

We’re lucky to watch this

Berkeley is so proud of Fernando

I so often can draw a line from Elliott Smith to the rest of my music taste (and from Smith to John Lennon/Revolver). A special wonder open.spotify.com/track/2f0KFq...

The Braves announce they’ve signed longtime Oriole shortstop Jorge Mateo to a major league deal

“When it first happened, I was upset. Like ‘Man, I did so much for this program,’ and I felt like I had so much more to give.” After the Terps showed him the door, Roman Hemby did have plenty left to give — helping Indiana get to the cusp of a national title: www.thebanner.com/sports/colle...

Don’t miss the goal Pape Gueye scored for Senegal just now

I don’t have a take, but for the purposes of skeeting, here it is: The CBA will be fascinating and difficult

Have been skiing today so finally getting around to this. The Orioles have been interested in key pitching additions, Ranger Suarez among them. Expect the market to shift toward Framber Valdez and Zac Gallen, as well as trade options (Joe Ryan, Freddy Peralta, the latter two names not sourced)

The Orioles kept outfielder Jhonkensy Noel in the system. He cleared waivers

In a statement, Greg Bader, the executive vice president and general manager of MASN, said: “MASN will continue to operate as the Orioles’ rights holder throughout our seven-state region.” www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

The forced brotherhood between the Nationals and Orioles that played out through the creation of the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network has reached its conclusion. After 21 seasons, the Nationals are departing the network ahead of the 2026 season, the Nats said www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

An epic show from Tommy Oeffling and the band at Kilby Court in Salt Lake City. And need a Baltimore angle? Matthew, far right on guitar, played while wearing a retro Orioles hat

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised two people can watch a video and have (or choose to have) two wildly different views of a situation. It happens every week during a VAR review in the premier league, after all

The Orioles announced details for this year's Birdland Caravan events, which will occur Jan. 22 to Jan. 24. It features a Q&A session with Craig Albernaz and Pete Alonso at The Senator Theatre (ticket required) on Jan. 22. A big get. $15 in advance: www.mlb.com/orioles/fans...
