Kemp settles in with new team, reunited with Irvin

Kemp settles in with new team, reunited with Irvin

Infielder Tony Kemp didn’t have a team to play for Sunday and decided to join a close friend at a baby shower in Indiana. Hang out for a while. Take his mind away from being in professional limbo after the Reds granted his release and put him back on the free agent market.Kemp was headed to the party destination when his agent called to notify him of the Orioles’ interest, that the sides had engaged in talks. A deal seemed imminent.“Once we heard about it, we were pretty excited,” he said.The Orioles have signed Kemp to a major league contract that pays $1 million, and he’s at this...

What the heck are the Orioles doing messing around with Tony Kemp?

Seriously, this guy? | Photo by Lachlan Cunningham/ There isn’t, or shouldn’t be, a space on the roster for a lefty infielder who has hit badly for two straight seasons A regular feature since Mike Elias has been the Orioles general manager is a roster move that shakes up the assumed picture within days of Opening Day. It’s happened the past three years before this and he’s done it again two days before Opening Day 2024. The Orioles on Tuesday afternoon announced the signing of veteran infielder Tony Kemp to a major league contract ahead of the start of this...

Trades that give Kyle Stowers, Connor Norby a path to playing time away from Orioles

Trades that give Kyle Stowers, Connor Norby a path to playing time away from Orioles

Photo by David J. Griffin/Icon Sportswire via The young outfielder and infielder seems to be the odd men out, so we cooked up four trades to improve the Orioles and give them the playing time they deserve. After last season’s trade deadline, I presented Birdland with a list of four prospects that seemed destined to be future trade chips. These were players who just didn’t have a path to regular playing time on a team pushing for AL East titles and postseason success. The Orioles already cashed in on one of those prospects—sending Joey Ortiz (along with DL Hall)...

A few reasons the O's can repeat as division champs and a few why they may not

A few reasons the O's can repeat as division champs and a few why they may not

It has been 50 years and that is probably long enough. The 1974 season ended with the Orioles in first place winning 91 games and the AL East. They won the AL East a year earlier too with 97 victories.And 1974 is the last time they won the AL East in back-to-back years. Now, 50 years later, can they do it again?Three reasons they could repeat.Star power: Led by Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson the team has a talented duo that are both not only team leaders and big talents but are MVP candidates. They are indeed that good.For the first time since 2001, the Orioles have a pitcher in their...

Tuesday Bird Droppings: The 2024 season begins in two days

Get the orange carpet ready. Camden Yards will be hopping on Thursday. | Photo by Patrick Smith/ The Orioles dominated spring training. Now it’s time to start winning games that count. Good morning, Camden Chatters. It’s nearly here. Just two days remain until the Orioles begin the 2024 season. Or...possibly three. As of this writing, there’s a 60-70 percent chance of rain in Thursday’s forecast, and practically zero chance on Friday, so it’s possible the O’s will delay their opener by a day to avoid inclement weather. If that happens, hopefully the Orioles...

One year makes a big difference for Danny Coulombe

One year makes a big difference for Danny Coulombe

The last day of camp.Danny Coulombe won’t forget it. A visitor to his locker fumbles for the exact date, and Coulombe says evenly, “The last day of camp.” And then he smiles.The reliever is talking about March 27, 2023, when the Twins traded him to the Orioles for cash considerations. They might have wanted to consider holding onto him, since they’d lose a couple left-handed relievers during the summer and since he’d craft the finest season of his major league career with a 2.81 ERA in 61 appearances and 10.2 strikeouts per nine innings.The guy with a low profile became high...

After ROY season, can Gunnar Henderson still elevate his game?

For the Orioles and their fans, there must be both comfort and excitement in knowing that one of their best players is just 22 years old and might be about to get better.Gunnar Henderson had a big spring – batting .417 and hitting a tape-measure homer Sunday - and now seems poised to have an even bigger year than last season with Opening Day now days away.He won the American League Rookie of the Year award in 2023 after batting .255/.325/.489/.814 with 29 doubles, nine triples, 28 homers, 100 runs and 82 RBIs.He finished second in the AL in triples, sixth in runs, 11th in slugging and tied...

Which Orioles logo are you? Discover the bird (or ‘B’) that suits you best.

With as much to smile about as ever, the Orioles will open their 70th anniversary season on Thursday with a grinning cartoon bird on their primary hats. It’s an enduring — and winning — emblem, but far from the only Baltimore’s ball club has showcased over the years. Some are plainer. Some are fiercer. Each […]
