What’s the definition of “not going well?” How about playing a series against a team that came in on a 12-game losing streak, and getting swept?

Of that group, Kittredge is the only pending free agent. Why Cano Stands Out Cano appears to be the most coveted name of the four. Cano has rebound...
Darren O’Day was one of the best relievers in Orioles history. From 2012-2018, O’Day appeared in 391 games, fifth most in team history. His sidearm throwing style, and being a part of some historically great bullpens made him a fan favorite. O’Day was in Baltimore last weekend, broadcasting for the Atlanta Braves, and he’ll be […]
Question: Isn’t it bad business and organizational malfeasance not to trade everyone on a last-year contract at the trade deadline? An exception would be a World Series contender. I’m a Taylor Ward fan and a big Trevor Rogers fan, but to get nothing for them after the season seems foolish. Even if the Orioles traded […]
