The Corbin Burnes trade notwithstanding, the defining philosophy of the Mike Elias era is that competing for a World Series the next year is subordinate to competing for a World Series three years from now.
Through seven years, it seems like that's a really good strategy to win zero World Series.

99.992% of you forgot that Jimmy Paredes played third base for the Toronto Blue Jays for one game in 2016 and it really shows.

Conger was a player in the Rays organization in 2016, but it doesn't look like he directly overlapped with Craig Albernaz.
Per a source, #orioles are hiring Hank Conger as bullpen coach

Next to Burnes in game one last year, the best performance by an Orioles starter I have ever seen in-person was Grayson's eight shutout innings on Clinchmas Eve, 2023 in a gotta-have-it game against the Rays. I hope he is able to be what he was that night again someday. He deserves it.

I like Taylor Ward. He's got a chance to be the righty power bat we so badly need. But he's turning 32 next month and is in the final year of his contract. Tough to grapple with this being enough to give up on Grayson, even if it's a long climb to get him back on the mound.

Hey remember the argument we had the other day about trading Povich for an outfielder, well they found a stupider trade and did that instead

Don't be surprised to see Creed Willems left unprotected. Even though some in the org like him, catchers with questionable defense and no AAA experience don't tend to make for great Rule 5 picks.

If Cal Raleigh didn't win MVP you have to cancel the award. Just stop giving it out if it clearly doesn't mean what it says it means.

Drew French, Buck Britton and Ryan Klimek all expected to return to Orioles' coaching staff in 2026, per source.
Not yet clear whether Britton will be 3rd-base coach, which he was to finish '25.
French has been pitching coach since '24, Klimek pitching strategy coach since '23.

In 2021, the Giants ranked 2nd in home runs, 6th in hits, 3rd in walks. And we know how good the Rangers offense was. This is a good get.
Orioles are hiring Donnie Ecker as bench coach, according to a source.
Ecker overlapped with new O’s manager Craig Albernaz on San Francisco’s staff from 2020-21. The 39-year-old was in Texas from 2022-25.
The Baltimore Sun was on it first.

Trans women competing in women's sports is an egregious injustice and an affront to all that is virtuous, but men cheating to break records is fine actually
I was aware of this case and it was indeed a very dumb one to criminally prosecute, but I still wonder if Trump thinks he has the power to grant him the FKT (fastest known time), the claim that was rejected as the result of this debacle?
