Part of what makes baseball the best are the feats and amazing stats accruing left and right, every single day. We chronicle them throughout the year, but there’s no better time than before the calendar flips to take a look back. It’s hard to pick just one per team, after

A new year brings new opportunities -- to build on the positives from last year, to improve on a disappointing season, or to finally reach expected potential. One or more of those could apply in 2026 for players on the verge of a breakout year. These are players who, for

BALTIMORE -- As the Orioles continue to bolster their rotation depth for the 2026 season, they have reunited with a familiar arm who has been added back to the starting mix -- one eager to go out and prove what he's still capable of. On Sunday night, Baltimore signed right-hander

BALTIMORE -- As Craig Albernaz navigated his first media session at the Winter Meetings in Orlando, Fla., on Dec. 8, the new Orioles manager was unsurprisingly asked about Adley Rutschman. The question alluded to Rutschman’s struggles going back to the second half of the 2024 season. Then, Albernaz was asked

As we close the book on 2025 and celebrate the teams that enjoyed a great year, the teams that didn’t should keep this in mind: One year can make a huge difference. Just ask the Blue Jays. In 2025, they reached a World Series that they came this close to

With the Minor League season in the rearview mirror and a new year on the horizon, we took a look at how some of the top prospects performed in 2025.

Nick Kurtz. Drake Baldwin. Roman Anthony. Trey Yesavage. Nolan McLean. They and so many other rookies left their marks on the 2025 season. One year ago, they were mere prospects who had yet to make their MLB debuts, and another host of newcomers will inevitably be difference-makers for their clubs

With the Orioles' season over, keep track of all their offseason roster moves and injury updates here. This page will be updated throughout the offseason.

With days left until 2025 becomes 2026, it's natural to use this time for reflection. Looking back at the year that was and finding satisfaction in all the progress that was made, while also looking ahead with hope for even better things to come, along with new goals in the

While the old adage says that a win is a win, most would agree that not all victories are equal in terms of overall significance to a team -- or simply from an entertainment perspective as a fan. With that in mind, and with the help of all 30 MLB.com

BALTIMORE -- All signs point toward Enrique Bradfield Jr. making his MLB debut in 2026. The Orioles’ first-round Draft pick in 2023, Bradfield finished the ‘25 season at Triple-A Norfolk. He then went to the Arizona Fall League -- long known as a “finishing school” for top prospects who are

There are 120 Minor League Baseball teams, and they each play approximately 70 home games a year. In the interest of not doing math, let's just say this results in a lot of gameday promotions over the course of the season. Theme nights, giveaways, celebrity appearances and more are a

BALTIMORE -- On Friday afternoon, Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias’ busy offseason of wheeling and dealing finally brought him a way to upgrade what has continued to be the team’s biggest need: starting pitching. In acquiring right-hander Shane Baz in a trade with Tampa Bay, Baltimore added a

Tony Vitello might be first. But he’s also fate. When the Giants made Vitello the first college head coach to go directly to managing an MLB team earlier this offseason, people understandably described it as a shocking, sea-changing move. And people are justifiably curious to see whether Vitello, who won

When we rank prospects at MLB Pipeline, it’s always with a long-term-potential frame of mind. We’re trying to project what kind of big leaguer each of these Minor Leaguers are going to be, so we look at tools or stuff and how we think each player will use them consistently

The 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame writers' ballot includes 12 first-time candidates. While they all won't end up enshrined in Cooperstown, and while it's possible that none of them will ever be inducted, each of them had at least one season in which they performed at a Hall of Fame

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles’ aggressive pursuit of starting pitching took them to conversations with an American League East rival, one who was willing to part with a high-ceiling right-hander for a hefty package of prospects in return on Friday afternoon.

Baltimore announced its 2026 coaches on Friday, with each of the names having previously been reported to

There are 27 players on the 2026 Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) Hall of Fame ballot, and their careers went in so many different directions. Some were paragons of stability. Ryan Braun, Alex Gordon, Félix Hernández, Dustin Pedroia and David Wright each played for just one Major League team.

As we say goodbye to 2025, it's a good time to revisit some of the best moments of the past season. From 13-strikeout complete games to multiple four-homer performances, the 2025 campaign featured excitement all across MLB. With the help of all 30 MLB.com beat writers, here's a look at

BALTIMORE -- The construction of the Orioles’ lineup is guaranteed to change in 2026. That’s what happens when a team adds a slugger the caliber of Pete Alonso to its roster.
