Inside the Dugout: 4 takeaways from Baseball America’s Orioles prospect list
It was inevitable that the Orioles’ top prospects list would eventually become unrecognizable after graduating and trading away so much talent.
Jon Meoli: Just how risky do the Orioles’ want to be when it comes to free agent pitching?
They can shop for free agents previously thought to be off limits, but it remains to be seen what the Orioles will do when they open their wallet.
Jon Meoli: What should we make of the Orioles’ new group of hitting coaches?
Elevating Asche and Sherman Johnson into prominent roles suggests the practices may not change much.
Inside the Dugout: Who could take veteran at-bats for the 2025 Orioles?
If the Orioles are searching in free agency, it’s hard to say there’s an exact fit for veteran players.
Jon Meoli: Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki should want to pitch for the Orioles
The Orioles can be as competitive as anyone when it comes to money, and they have the need atop their rotation.
Jon Meoli: What the first week of the Orioles’ offseason might tell us about the rest of it
It feels as if at least this much is true: If you’re worth the money, the Orioles are more than willing to pay it. That’s always been true to an extent, but it feels more unqualified than ever.
Jon Meoli: How would Anthony Santander fit in an Orioles’ lineup that’s less reliant on home runs?
It’s hard to reconcile the Orioles’ desire to rely less on home runs and the potential for a long-term Santander contract.
Inside the Dugout: The World Series is about massive stars. Do the Orioles have one?
The Orioles are going to have no shortage of good players across their roster in the coming years, but stardom is another thing.
Inside the Dugout: The Orioles pulled off the rebuild. Now they plan to spend.
There is well over a half-billion dollars in this year's World Series, which will likely lead to calls for the Orioles to spend more money. I think we’re past the point of that even being necessary.
Jon Meoli: Adley Rutschman’s role in the Orioles’ decline was significant. Will we ever know what happened?
It’s unfair to put too much of what happened with these Orioles on Rutschman’s shoulders.
Jon Meoli: Why first base might be the position that defines the Orioles’ offseason
It is going to be fascinating to see what the Orioles do at this position.
Inside the Dugout: What Orioles coaching changes really mean
This is not a dramatic change in philosophy for the Orioles. Whoever they hire will likely want to have hitters control the strike zone.
Jon Meoli: In a year of challenges, the Orioles’ pitching staff held up remarkably well
If you stack up the Orioles’ overall pitching stats for the last three seasons, the similarities are striking.
Inside the Dugout: Seeing through the ‘maniacal cope’ of some O’s fans
Reactions to the playoff loss have been extreme. Mike Elias doesn’t need to be.
Jon Meoli: The Orioles were swept again. How does Mike Elias change that?
The rebuild and its principles took them this far. How heavy will the remodel need to be?
Jon Meoli: On a quiet day for Orioles hitters, Bobby Witt Jr. shows what stepping up looks like
The playoffs come down to a man holding a bat with a chance to make something happen, and the Orioles’ playoff runs in this era, to this point, have been devoid of them.
Inside the Dugout: Henderson and Witt headline, but Rutschman’s the key
Adley Rutschman’s slump in the last few months has been hard to untangle from the Orioles’ struggles.
Jon Meoli: The Orioles don’t need a new approach at the plate. Just keep swinging hard.
As a team, the Orioles entered Sunday second in the majors behind the Atlanta Braves with a 42.4% hard-hit rate.
Orioles playoff questions: Are they more prepared for the postseason this year?
Ahead of the wild-card round, our Orioles experts weigh in on important questions.
