Need Sugano to call Imai and tell him how much he loved the food at the Charleston
Mike Elias said yesterday the Orioles will be in the mix on the Japanese market. “If you’re an East Coast team, it’s a little bit of a disadvantage. … But I think with Sugano, we’ve demonstrated we can be a destination, and we’re going to keep working on that.”

Love waking up to news that, once again, reminds me that there is no one in power in America who gives a single shit about regular people who are just trying to live their fucking lives.

Chipper Menard is possibly the most mid-west name possible
Couple of minor league moves:
RHP Houston Roth, RHP Thad Ward, IF Noelberth Romero elected free agency.
RHP Chipper Menard was released.

Orioles sending Kittredge to the Cubs on loan for 2 months in return for an extremely promising 17 year old is very entertaining to me

Unbelievable. The Rams destroyed the field AND stole the scoreboard.
The Camden Yards scoreboard is under construction and the turf is gone from the field

Already building myself up to be utterly and completely crushed when I get the notification that Dylan Cease has signed with not-the-Orioles.

Probably a bit of hyperbole, but one of the more important hires the Orioles need to make this winter is the replay room. The Orioles have consistently been in last place in overturn% over the past few years.

Haven't listened yet but no way the opener isn't the Albernaz signing, right?
NEW POD
- World Series Game 3 recap; not a lot to discuss, right?
- Ohtani 4 XBH (2 HR + 2 2B) + 5 BB (4 intentional) LOL COME ON
- TOR emptying bench was understandable but also backfired brutally
- ERIC LAUER?! WILL KLEIN?!?!?!
- Freddie Freeman really did it again
- AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

I'm not good at writing tweets like this so ignore my summary below, but I really recommend listening to this interview with Craig Albernaz.
After listening to this interview from 2022, I really like this manager hire. Albernaz seems to understand and communicate so many aspects of the game in a sophisticated way

The New York Mets and first-base coach Antoan Richardson have not come to terms on a new contract and Richardson is expected to leave the organization, sources told ESPN. Richardson was lauded for his work with Mets baserunners and will seek another job when his contract expires.

Pretty common for young first time managers to have a very experienced bench coach to help guide them in their first year. Getting the guy who was that for Stephen Vogt in Cleveland is a good hire at face value, to me.
Also like that the hire was made this early on.

Alex Bregman will cost a lot. Can’t help but think he’s worth it in Baltimore (and figure out how to fit him into the lineup)

Skubal with a 4 pitch walk to Austin Hedges. He'd be perfect for the Orioles.

Can you imagine Kevin Brown doing something like this?
For better or worse, teams are represented by their announcers and the Yankees have one of the worst ones

The 1273 hits that the 2025 Orioles recorded are the second fewest in a 162 game season in franchise history (1968, 1187 hits)
Their 1457 strikeouts are also the most in any season in franchise history, narrowly beating out the 2021 Orioles, who had 1454
