Hays, 28, had the best year of his major league career last year, making the All-Star game for the first time while hitting .275 with 16 home runs.

With John Angelos selling a stake in the team and the trade for pitcher Corbin Burnes, the Orioles have been making a lot of national headlines. What comes next as they prepare to head to spring training?

“Obviously fortunate to be traded from one team that is good to one that is arguably better,” Burnes said. “I’ve been a part of winning seasons for the last seven years. I know what it takes to get to the postseason on a regular basis.”

The Orioles are losing two major league-ready players for someone who has a proven record and can help this team win now.

On the field last year, the Orioles won 101 games, taking the American League East for the first time since 2014. But team chairman John Angelos kept himself in the spotlight, oftentimes for negative reasons.

Fans are rejoicing, but it comes with a caveat. The deal is not finalized, and there are multiple steps that need to be taken before it is.

David Rubenstein, a Baltimore native and Maryland resident with a net worth of more than $4 billion, is part of a group that has agreed to buy the Baltimore Orioles for $1.725 billion.

Baltimore native David Rubenstein would become the team control person as the lead investor in a group that also includes Maryland sports legends.

Manager Brandon Hyde will attend the AFC championship game Sunday with his son. “They are just really fun to watch,” Hyde said of the Ravens.

“I didn’t want to [sit], but I think it was the smartest path for me,” Means said. “Obviously, mentally, it’s been tough over the last couple of years, but that was the toughest.”

Swift, who is expected to make an appearance at M&T Bank Stadium for Ravens-Chiefs, is proving to a new wave of football fans that there’s nothing wrong with liking the sport.

The deal also includes a club option for 2025.

Here’s a look at where the top Orioles international signings are — and how successful they’ve been.

Pitchers and catchers report in about a month, with position players following shortly after. That means nights at Camden Yards will be here before you know it.

Two signees, both 16-year-olds from the Dominican Republic, ranked 28th and 30th on MLB Pipeline’s top-50 2024 international prospects list.

Among the amenities at the new facility: three full baseball fields, housing for 100 players, and classrooms for on-site education, including English classes.

The Orioles need another starting pitcher and it’s probably going to take a top prospect to make that move possible. But what prospects should they give up and for which starter?

Inspired by the kindness shown to them by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, the Orioles catcher and his wife give back to families with children in the hospital.

Using other MLB stadiums as a guide, here are what proposed upgrades to Oriole Park at Camden Yards could look like.

The lease keeps the Orioles in Baltimore for at least another 15 years, if not for decades. What comes next, though — beyond the relief of more games being played at Camden Yards — is still an open question.
