The Baltimore Orioles were dealt a brutal blow when news broke earlier this year that closer Félix Bautista might miss the entire 2026 season after needing to undergo labrum and rotator cuff surgery.
The Orioles livened up a mid-August weekend in Houston by promoting outfielder Dylan Beavers and catcher/first baseman Samuel Basallo. That weekend began with Brandon Young throwing 7 2/3 perfect innings against the Astros and continued with the additions of Beavers and Basallo.
In February 2024, the Baltimore Orioles completed perhaps the biggest blockbuster trade in the team's history when they acquired four-time MLB All-Star and 2021 NL Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for several top prospects.
Well, here we are again: yet another Orioles player review that begins with “what could have been.” If you’re reading this, you already know how Félix Bautista’s 2025 went, and you’re either here for catharsis or because misery loves company.
MLB has been awarding the American League Championship Series MVP Award since the 1980 season. How many of the winners in that time can you name in six minutes?
In an Orioles system that has brought a slew of top young players to the majors in recent years, Enrique Bradfield Jr. is a different kind of prospect.
Among the countless Hall of Famers who never experienced the joy of winning a World Series, there are several notable legends who stand out. Here's our list of the 25 greatest.
One of the earliest decisions the Orioles must make after free agency begins, following the World Series, is to offer contracts to their 14 eligible players.
The Orioles farm system has a number of prospects who did some truly exciting things in the course of the 2025 season. The organization added a wave of intriguing talent in the July amateur draft and still another wave as it traded away veteran players from a failing team going nowhere to stock up on prospects.
Hello, friends. There are now 154 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2026. The World Series remains for some entertainment over the next week-plus, though it’s not going to help you out today because that doesn’t actually start until tomorrow.
The Orioles lost five key members of their bullpen within three weeks in July. Right-handers Bryan Baker, Seranthony Domínguez and Andrew Kittredge, and left-hander Gregory Soto were traded ahead of the trade deadline and their closer, Félix Bautista, didn’t pitch after July 20th and had rotator cuff and labrum surgery.
The Orioles headed into 2025 with significant expectations after two consecutive disappointments in the playoffs. However, Baltimore couldn’t make it to October this past season.
Baltimore Orioles President of Baseball Operations Mike Elias made it clear that he intends to add a quality starting pitcher to his roster this offseason, ideally somebody who could be considered the ace of the rotation, during his exit interview earlier this month.
The Baltimore Orioles and president of baseball operations Mike Elias don't appear to be in a rush in their search for a new manager. Interim manager Tony Mansolino, who is a current candidate to take over the job on a permanent basis, was solid in 2025 after Brandon Hyde got fired due to a 15-28 start.
(Another in my series of conversations with sportswriters who covered the Orioles on a beat basis. In my interview with Rosenthal, the Fox Sports baseball insider, he chronicles his years as a young beat writer and fiery columnist in Baltimore.) It takes an entire paragraph to list Ken Rosenthal’s roles in today’s baseball media.
Jorge Mateo has always been a player who is easy to dream on. He’s athletic and fast and a defensive whiz. When he gets on base, fun things happen. His offense has never really come together, but he has had enough hot stretches that you can just imagine the player he could be.
When the O’s turned a corner toward winning baseball in 2022, there were questions as to whether Mike Elias and Co. could continue to dominate the draft process without the benefit of yearly Top 5 picks.
The Baltimore Orioles had a disappointing 2025 season. After reaching the postseason two straight years, they went 75-87 and finished in last place in the American League East.
The Orioles are looking for an impact hitter, reports Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com. Kubatko adds that the outfield is likeliest area for Baltimore to add since it is fairly set behind the plate and in the infield.
The Baltimore Orioles are considering hiring former MLB superstar Albert Pujols for their vacant managerial position. The team hasn’t interviewed Pujols in a formal capacity for the position, but is expected to do so soon, according to Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.
Albert Pujols is widely considered the favorite to become the next manager of the Los Angeles Angels, but there is at least one other team that is reportedly looking to make its pitch to the future Hall of Famer.
Just two years after finishing 101-61 and claiming the No. 1 seed in the AL, the Baltimore Orioles found themselves at the bottom of the AL East. The young core struggled to be on the field at the same time, and disastrous pitching doomed the season in April and May.
Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Albert Suárez has apparently avoided major injury, putting him on track for Opening Day of the 2026 MLB season. The 36-year-old received the good news following a second opinion during an exam on his right elbow, according to MASNSports.
