BALTIMORE—In his first season with the Orioles, Pete Alonso was unanimously elected as Most Valuable Oriole. Alonso, who signed a five-year, $155 million contract with the Orioles last December, became the ninth Oriole to hit 40 home runs on Monday night. “It’s just them believing in who I am,” Alonso said. “I’m not trying to […]
In first year with the club, he has mashed 40 HRs with 108 RBIs
The Orioles, as a collective unit, have failed in 2026. Some players got hurt, some players struggled, and a few were traded away. The team will finish with a losing record and miss the playoffs for the second consecutive season. Few things have worked out, but there’s one thing that cannot be questioned—Pete Alonso delivered […]
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Pete Alonso is about to make MLB history, and New York Mets fans should love it.
What a difference a year can make. Unfortunately. One year ago at this time, Esteban Mejia’s career was on a very different trajectory. The Dominican right-hander, a 2024 international signing, was coming off of an excellent first season stateside, one in which he flashed both dazzling results — a 2.45 ERA and 11.8 K/9 as […]
Good morning Birdland, For a while now, we have been able to lean on the crutch that the Orioles were still “mathematically alive” in the AL playoff race. There is a chance, perhaps even an inevitability, that it will no longer be a matter of math after today. The Orioles elimination number is at one, […]
Even though an expected December 1st lockout may preclude a Rule 5 draft, the Orioles still have choices to make as they construct a 40-man roster for the offseason. Despite the cancellation of the 2021 Rule 5 draft, the Orioles did add six players to the 40-man roster on November 19th — future closer Félix […]
He was a pitching stalwart on terrific Oriole teams before a drug habit shattered his life. Click the play button below to hear me read a 2006 article I wrote about his fall. Sammy Stewart probably would’ve had a long and successful career as a starting pitcher in the major leagues if he’d played for […]
The last time the White Sox opened a series at Kauffman Stadium, they were 4-8 and fresh off a sweep by the Orioles, and opening a series in a place where they’d lost their last 15 games. Anthony Kay spearheaded a 2-0 shutout back on April 9 to break that nightmarish losing streak, and while…

RBIs have been an official MLB stat since 1920. And yet, in all that time, not a single player has ever won an RBI title in both leagues. After 106 years, that looks like it’s finally about to change. Pete Alonso is poised to become the first player ever to lead the National League in RBIs in one season and the American League in RBIs in another. With less than a week to go in his first season with the Orioles, Alonso has 108 RBIs — nine ahead of Yordan Alvarez (99) for the AL lead. Barring a ...

During my many years as a frustrated intramural jock, I had a close friend and teammate who had an interesting philosophy when things were not going our way. He would gather everybody together and deliver this one-sentence pep talk: “Okay guys, it’s time to change the emphasis from losing to winning.” Everybody laughed and we […]
BALTIMORE—While the Orioles’ major league team has disappointed, the team trotted out some of its best minor league performers on Monday night to hand out awards.

Three years ago, at this time, the Orioles were wrapping up their first AL East title in nine years while on their way to an AL-best 101-61 record. Fast forward three years, and the O’s are back in the depths of disappointment that plagued this team for the entirety of the 2000s and the early […]
If the Baltimore Orioles are open to making serious organizational changes, then we'd assume Gunnar Henderson will be on the move.
The Orioles have a number of interesting and exciting prospects who are now in their system. However, if you’ve been following my contributions to Camden Chat’s minor league coverage through this season, or if you read the title of this article, you already know that there’s only one prospect who is my guy: 21-year-old switch-hitting […]
Rogers remains very open to it and believes there is “mutual interest”
For the last few months, this space has featured the Rays heavily, given there was real intrigue about whether they or the Yankees would end up with the AL East title. Tampa slipped ahead of the Yankees in the division early in the season, but they never got too far afield, and as the season […]
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Last night, we got a reprieve from the misery that has been Orioles baseball lately. And we got it mostly thanks to Pete Alonso (who else). Alonso hit his 39th and 40th home runs of the season last night, powering the Orioles to a 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays. He’s […]
