It's like watching the 2019 women's world cup again.

At least they did it in Fenway Park, a place with totally normal outfield dimensions

Common Keegan Akin lefty/lefty L

Really curious now to see how present he is at spring training games or if he'll be asked about this. He was everywhere last year.

Oh my god.

Oh no... I just assumed it was blue.

That blue one is BEAUTIFUL

We got a Shin doctor for a wrist injury?

Now Chloe and Myles both know the feeling of losing to an opponent overcoming an injury at lightning speed

This is INCREDIBLE

Mamma mia.

Meet the Mutts!

The Texas Rangers: JERSEY WITH A GUY'S FAKE BLOOD ON IT

What plan?

Signed, DL Hall's last true believer

You swap Rodriguez for Baz, a guy who at least is entering the season at full health
You swap Sugano for Bassitt, who has similar raw stats but a better track record and a lower fly ball rate
You swap Morton with (hopefully) healthy Rogers and Bradish

It's all about perspective baby

Now we just need to flip Taveras for some international bonus pool money and we'll be back under budget 😅

I'm honestly relieved by this move more than anything. It's never ever bad to have too many healthy starters.

Okay, see, was that so hard?

More concerned that his defensive progress is gonna be stunted. You can live without a ton of power from 2B. You can't have bad infield defense.

What does spending wisely even mean in this context?

A five-year, $31M/year contract for a post-peak 1B/DH is spending wisely?

I like Pete. I like all the moves they made. There was a ton of meat left on the bone and there is no reason they couldn't have gotten even better this winter.

From Kyle Goon: "We're very fortunate now to have a great ownership group that puts us in really good position to make some big moves when they make sense and when we see an opportunity," Elias said Tuesday, recapping an offseason that started with the bang of signing first baseman Pete Alonso, only to fizzle when the best starting pitchers on the market went to other teams. For the Orioles, it's not really about making /big moves/ as much as making only /one big move./ You shouldn't brag about how much money you have to spend if you don't actually spend it in free agency. As of now, the Orioles are projected to spend less on payroll in 2026 ($149 million) than they did at the end of 2025 ($160 million), according to FanGraphs.

The Orioles are spending less money on payroll now than they were five months ago.

I genuinely cannot believe the payroll went down

Gross

Well, if everyone else is doing it,

If Colin Selby is the only pitching injury update we get this morning, I'll gladly take it. I still half expect Eflin not to be ready until May.

Rotation maxxing and bullpen mogging

Wild that the Orioles traded for a utility infielder the DAY BEFORE Holliday injured his hand.

I saw Fangraphs published an article saying they're down on the Orioles this morning. Also the sky is blue.
