Baltimore Orioles

From Derrick Henry's stiff arms to Albert Suarez's incredible comeback story to David Rubenstein's big entrance, here's what we'll remember about Baltimore sports in 2024.

With Burnes headed to Arizona, the Orioles must find another arm for the starting rotation.

Burnes performed up to his ace billing, pitching to a 2.92 ERA, starting the All-Star Game for the American League and earning consideration for a second Cy Young Award.

It might be impossible to convince Gunnar Henderson, who is represented by agent Scott Boras, to sign an extension this winter. But Rutschman might be more willing to agree to a long-term deal.

The year, from the highly anticipated debuts to the second-half swoon, was one to remember.

A Banner reporter reflects on his father’s legacy and decade-long cancer battle.

Mike Elias has worked hard to make the Orioles a destination for pitchers. He was effective in selling Baltimore to Japanese star Tomoyuki Sugano.

Looking at other pitchers who have gone from Nippon Professional Baseball to Major League Baseball, and how they fared.

“It’s a division where I started my professional career, so I feel like I know the stadiums very well,” Sánchez said. “Yankee Stadium, Oriole Park, even Toronto. I’m very excited.“

The 62-page report released Tuesday said the trends extended to high school and youth baseball because of the incentive to get noticed by professional scouts.

Rōki Sasaki is still out there for someone to sign, but the Orioles’ first actual rotation acquisition ended up being 35-year-old Japanese star Tomoyuki Sugano.

Despite Flaherty’s rough first stint in Baltimore, the Orioles are reportedly interested in a reunion. Is it worth a second try?

The 35-year-old Sugano has spent his entire 12-year career with the Yomiuri Giants of the NPB’s Central League, and he’s the league’s reigning MVP after posting a 1.67 ERA in 156 2/3 innings.

“I’m really excited to be able to exploit right-center more,” O’Neill said, “and use the whole field.”

“When you have competitiveness in a market, ownership has to respond to compete with these fellow owners for elite talents,” Boras said.

Have the Orioles done enough to compete? Here’s where their roster stands.

Just because the most prominent national baseball voices think they should do more doesn’t mean they have to.

Baltimore wants to add to the rotation, but pitchers are flying off the shelf.

Burnes, acquired in a February trade, threw 194 1/3 innings for the Orioles, pitching to a 2.92 ERA. He spun a gem in Game 1 of the wild-card series, allowing one run in eight innings.

Mayo and Holliday will need to earn their spots on the big league roster after rough debut seasons. But there’s reason to believe they can use this offseason as a springboard.
