The Orioles have not gone to an arbitration hearing in two consecutive years.

The Orioles whittled their arbitration-eligible list from five to one Friday by settling with four players, including slugger Chris Davis, who will more than triple his 2013 salary next season.

Catcher Matt Wieters, represented by agent Scott Boras, has filed for a 2014 salary worth $8.75 million, while the Orioles filed at $6.5 million. The club settled with the rest of their arbitration-eligible players on Friday.

What I really want to know is whether you, Mr. or Mrs. Orioles fan, want Mike Mussina to go into the Baseball Hall of Fame as an Oriole.

It became clear this season that Jake Arrieta needed a change of scenery, that the Baltimore Orioles had gotten all they were going to get out of a 27-year-old righty who has oodles of talent but too often got inside his own head when things started to go wrong.

The evolution of Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman continued on Friday night with a statistical gem that was an obvious struggle. In the Orioles¿ 2-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox in front of a nearly packed house, Tillman did what good pitchers are supposed to do.

The Orioles and their three remaining arbitration-eligible players have officially filed salary numbers for 2013.

It's a pretty good time to be a Baltimore sports fan. This is the first time since the Ravens came into existence in 1996 that both the Orioles and Ravens had season records above .500 in the same calendar year.

Now that the Orioles have declined the $11 million option for next year on Mark Reynolds, the club has two options to try to keep the 29-year-old first baseman.

It wasn't exactly a pre-trade deadline blockbuster, but the Orioles sent cash to the New York Mets on Friday for 30-year-old infielder Omar Quintanilla, who was designated for assignment earlier this week.

Dan Duquette talked for a few minutes about his trade today to acquire middle infielder Omar Quintanilla for cash. Quintanilla is expected to man second base at least until Robert Andino returns from injury.

The Orioles added infielder Omar Quintanilla for cash or future considerations on Friday from the New York Mets. An hour earlier, the Orioles learned they had lost right-hander Brad Bergesen to the Arizona Diamondbacks on a waiver claim.

Despite struggling the past two nights in Minnesota, Orioles pitchers Chris Tillman and Zach Britton will likely get at least two more starts at the major league level.

Just one day after purchasing his contract from Triple-A Norfolk, the Orioles have designated right-handed Brad Bergesen for assignment in order so they could recall Wednesday¿s starter, right-hander Tommy Hunter.

Each morning, Monday through Friday, we'll hook you up with some reading material to skim through as you slug down coffee and slack off at the start of your workday.

The Orioles purchased the contract of 26-year-old right-hander Brad Bergesen before Tuesday's game to provide support to a taxed bullpen.

After seeing their bullpen carry an extended load in four games since the all-star break, the Orioles are expected to purchase the contract of right-handed reliever Brad Bergesen to help aid a taxed relief corps.

Dontrelle Willis is back and is pitching against Toledo. But that is not the crazy part. What¿s crazy is this: Willis becomes the 17th different pitcher to start a game for the Tides this year.

Once considered a key member of the Orioles' young rotation, right-hander Brad Bergesen will be pitching for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday without a spot on the organization's 40-man roster.

Right-hander Brad Bergesen said he felt he was "in limbo" the past week, not knowing whether he would remain in the only organization he has known or go somewhere else.

The Orioles continue to make roster moves at a dizzying pace, the latest occurring Saturday afternoon when third baseman Mark Reynolds was placed on the disabled list with a strained oblique.

Orioles have designated Brad Bergesen for assignment

Orioles third baseman Mark Reynolds is heading to the disabled list for the first time in his career.

Former Orioles pitcher Koji Uehara is finally settling in with the Rangers. The right-hander has allowed 2 runs in 10 innings for Texas.

Orioles pitcher Jason Hammel is dealing with right knee soreness and most likely will have his start Thursday skipped. If he only needs one day, then he could theoretically pitch Friday.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said before today's game that it's "pretty realistic" that right-hander Jason Hammel will miss his next start tomorrow with right-knee soreness.

Left-hander Dontrelle Willis had dropped his grievance against the Orioles, and will return to the organization tomorrow, his agent confirmed.

Opening Day starter? Jake Arrieta is ready for the challenge. Throughout his life, the 26-year-old right-hander has made a habit of proving doubters wrong.

Nick Markakis homers in Orioles' 6-5 win over Red Sox. Adam Jones also homers, but starter Jason Hammel labors through two innings.

Right-hander Armando Galarraga, who is hoping to make the Orioles after missing much of last season because of injury, tired after a solid early performance and ended up allowing four runs in four innings as the Boston Red Sox beat the Orioles, 7-4, in a split-squad game at JetBlue Park.
