"I think if I were have gotten surgery in January there kind of would have been a little regret and questioning if maybe I didn’t have to get surgery because it didn’t feel that bad at that moment," Bradish said.

The declassified files show for the first time that the FBI twice investigated Peter Angelos during his life.

The Orioles catcher suffered through a slump in the second half of the season that was compounded the team’s second straight failure to win a playoff game.

Eight players got a chance for one-on-one training with the major league staff and to get acclimated before the madness begins.

“He’s all about winning,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “That was clear in our two Zooms that we had with him this offseason, that he’s coming over here to win.”

“But fans at home, I promise you, we’re preaching sound baseball philosophy and things that have worked in this game for 200 years, from Ted Williams to Pete Rose to Tony Gwynn,” Asche said.

In 2023, Rodriguez threw a slower slider with similar characteristics to the new sweeper he’s employing. Batters hit just .145 against the offering.

“I’m not 100%, but I would say about 85%, and I do think for opening day I would be at 100%,” Bautista said Friday through team interpreter Brandon Quinones.

“He still looks really young,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “But physically? Physically, his strength is impressive.”

“President Kennedy would be proud of your selfless work, your long hours, your commitment to excellence, and your dedication to the performing arts," Rubenstein said in reference to president Deborah Rutter, who was fired.

For some players, there is plenty at stake in Sarasota — even if their roster spot is all but a lock.

On Wednesday, Baltimore’s pitchers and catchers report to the Ed Smith Stadium complex and the following day they will engage in the first official workout of the new season.

Saying this has the makings of a drama-free camp out loud probably ensures that won’t be the case, but I’m quite looking forward to the possibility of it.  

The eight games are an increase from past years, but still low compared to other regional sports networks.

Once spring training is complete, the Orioles will begin work on the 42,500-square-foot facility.
