love the Orioles' trade for Shane Baz, who's a good starter now and I think a breakout candidate for 2026. breaking down the trade for subscribers to @theathletic.com: www.nytimes.com/athletic/690...
Orioles acquire Shane Baz, a starter on the rise, by leveraging prospect depth
With Baz, Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish, the Orioles rotation now at least has the upside to be among the best in baseball.

The whole Puka Nacua situation is indicative of media toxicity in which young guys swim every day. Why is there a massively popular antisemitic Twitch streamer? Why does that exist?

Some ideas for who the Orioles could try to extend this offseason

Career tip: if you’re a graphic designer go ahead and reach out to any MLB talent agency I promise their website needs help
I tried to find a precedent for signing a pitcher to an arbitration extension who had never made it through an entire season in a 6 year career BECUASE you think that he's going to be an important part of the rotation. It turns out it's kind of unprecedented. Pitchers with those kinds of durability issues sometimes do sign extensions but those are usually small bean extensions that are more about getting a pay raise in arbitration in exchange for another year of control. Drew Rasmussen's extension from last offseason for example Trevor Rogers is not looking for the Drew Rasmussen extension. So l'd be interested to know their response if the Orioles approached them ahead of the 2026 season and basically offered them the Cal Raleigh extension and maybe even upped it a little, say 6 years 110 million. You give Adley a slight raise up to 10 million in 2026 and then it's 20 million per for the next 5. An AAV of 18.5 over his age 28-34 seasons. With that figure you are giving Adley respect for what he's shown he can do by offering him as much as Raleigh who has drastically out performed him over the last few seasons. I don't know how he could turn down that contract based on how the last few seasons have gone. If he signs it and becomes a 4-5 WAR catcher again then you've got a valuable contract. The existing contract that I think you could base this off of would be Logan Webb who signed a 5 years deal that bought out 2 years of arbitration. He basically got 2 raises for the arb years and then 23 million AAV for the next 3 seasons after that. His earnings went 8, 12, 23, 23 and 24 (millions duh). So a similar Bradish deal would add just one more arb year raise on the front end. It could be something like 5, 10, 15, 25, 25 and 25. That would come out to 6 years 105 million (speaking of Cal Raleigh's contract lol). I think if you put 100+ million dollars guaranteed in front of someone who's current career earnings is about 7 million I think he'd have to consider it and it would be a win-win if he did sign it. This is a good model for what a Cowser extension could look like. Cowser is a little older and one year further along in his career so maybe instead of 7 years and an option you're looking at 6 years and an option. If you need to incentivize him you could make it a player option instead of a team option. That might look like 2.5, 5, 8, 12.5, 15, 18 and then a player option worth about 20

Pete Alonso brings more to the Orioles than home runs
Pete Alonso arrives at the right time, joining a young team that underperformed in 2025. With his presence, the atmosphere around the club is higher than it has been in some time.

Pete Alonso said he wants to “make good” on the contract he received from the Orioles. That means taking care of the on-field results. He said he aims to win a trophy here. But Alonso also said it’s important that he immerses himself in the community in Baltimore

Mike Elias said there are still ways to "spruce up the position player side." More role players. But talking "more pointedly" on the pitching side. That's multiple starters. #orioles

Way late but in honor of the Alonso signing I’m bringing back the only post about him in relation to the Baltimore Orioles that will ever matter
Tweet from @jonbernhardt Jul 12, 2021: Trey Mancini. What a story. An inspiration; a legend. It is time for a man who has only had the opening riff from Immigrant Song going through his head for the past 2 hours to annihilate him.
