After a 2025 season that fell apart early, Baltimore is aiming to make immediate amends and return to the postseason.

The Banner spoke with six scouts from opposing clubs to take stock of the Orioles’ strengths and weaknesses.

As the Orioles aim to prove that last season’s disaster was an anomaly, Bassitt and Alonso are the sort of players who can maintain accountability and put potential issues to rest before they reach the manager’s office.

Henderson’s grandfather died Feb. 10 at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama. He was 79.

The two first-time major league managers have been close friends since 2015.

These are the major takeaways from president of baseball operations Mike Elias’ end-of-spring news conference.

The Orioles made the surprise move to option right-hander Dean Kremer to the minors at the beginning of the season rather than carrying six starting pitchers.

Micah Ashman is a 23-year-old left-handed reliever who arrived midway through 2025 as the other half of the trade that sent right-hander Charlie Morton to the Detroit Tigers.

Opening day is just around the corner (Thursday at Camden Yards against the Minnesota Twins).

Of all the Orioles players this spring, there may be none with a larger range of possibilities entering 2026 than Cowser.

In addition to the new bar, fans will be able to get into Camden Yards earlier this season to watch the home team take batting practice.

The deal, which includes sponsorships around Camden Yards, brings Henderson’s likeness to the Eutaw Street side of the new scoreboard.

With less than a week to go before the Orioles pack up and board a flight to Baltimore, here’s who could complete the team's roster.

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz joked that Bourgeois brings the tennis racket to the outfield to work on his game. But in reality, the drill could help Baltimore’s outfielders.

First baseman Pete Alonso, who declined to specifically detail the strategy to maintain what he called a tactical advantage, summed it up this way: “You’ve got to be self-aware to realize when to use it and when not to use it, but you relatively want to keep them for those [big] moments.”

Povich produced a 5.21 ERA in 112 1/3 innings last year, and while he showed flashes of dominance, command issues have worked against him.

After struggling in 2024, Rogers returned in 2025 as a star. He posted a 1.81 ERA with a 0.90 WHIP in 18 starts last season.

The former big league manager cut his retirement short to join the Orioles in a minor league player development role.
