Baltimore Sun writers and editors react to the Orioles trading Manny Machado to the Los Angeles Dodgers for five prospects.

While the focus has been on trading the Orioles' pending free agents before this month's nonwaiver trade deadline, the focus is likely to shift to its top long-term assets, Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy.

Orioles right-hander Yovani Gallardo, who is on the disabled list with right shoulder tendinitis, will make at least one more minor league rehabilitation start before returning to the major league starting rotation.

It's so clear now. The deal that brought Hall of Famer Frank Robinson to Baltimore — exactly 50 years ago — is the best trade in Orioles history for so many reasons that there really is no room for debate on the subject. On Dec. 9, 1965, the Orioles sent starting pitcher Milt Pappas, reliever Jack Baldschun and outfielder Dick Simpson to the Cincinnati Reds for a former National League Rookie of the Year and MVP who would immediately lead the club to its first World Series title.

It was nearly eight years ago to the day when Andy MacPhail stood behind a podium and outlined his immediate plans to fix a once-proud baseball organization that was in a 10-year tailspin. This past week, MacPhail, sounding every bit as assured, vowed to do those same three things as he accepted another significant challenge: resurrecting the Philadelphia Phillies, an organization in steep decline.

To replace Miguel Gonzalez on the roster, the Orioles exercised their right to recall right-hander Mike Wright from Triple-A Norfolk. He'll be available in the bullpen for the next few games and could start in Gonzalez's place on Sunday if he isn't needed for extensive relief.

When Chris Tillman takes the mound Thursday as the Orioles' starting pitcher in Game 1 of the best-of-five American League Division Series matchup against the Detroit Tigers at Camden Yards, he will be making his postseason debut.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he is considering carrying just 10 pitchers for the best-of-five ALDS.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter will meet with his staff Monday to decide the team's roster for the American League Division Series. In the meantime, he still wants to get some final looks at players before making those choices.

Orioles starter Chris Tillman dominated the Seattle Mariners lineup again Sunday, but he wants everyone to know that it's nothing personal.

The Orioles beat the Seattle Mariners, 1-0, thanks to a home run by Nick Markakis to lead off the bottom of the first inning and a strong pitching performance by Chris Tillman.

It took four pitches in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays to recognize it might be that kind of afternoon for Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen.

The Orioles have had their fair share of offensive struggles recently, scoring five runs or fewer in each of their past five games.

The Orioles recorded their best offensive output in the past 14 games as a pair of homers sent them to a 7-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night in front of an announced 10,803 at Tropicana Field.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The replay system hasn¿t been kind to the Orioles over the past three weeks as four of the five calls the O¿s challenged have not been overturned.

A cast of minor-league veterans and intriguing prospects are hitting the cover off the ball for the Double-A Bowie Baysox, including first base prospect Christian Walker and outfielder Dariel Alvarez.

Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman knows it will be a special moment Monday afternoon when he takes the mound at Camden Yards to officially open another baseball season in Baltimore.

Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman will start Opening Day on March 31 vs. the Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards, Buck Showalter announces.

The Orioles shouldn't buy a lower-tier starter; put that money into a top pitcher or Kendrys Morales

Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said Wednesday that he is still attempting to land a starter to improve the club's rotation.

The Orioles announced Monday afternoon that they¿ve signed five players ¿ right-hander Tim Alderson, right-hander Brock Huntzinger, oufielder Chih-Hsein Chiang, left-hander Nick Addition and outfielder Kyeong Kang -- to minor-league deals.

If right-hander Chris Tillman is indeed the Orioles¿ ace, if he is indeed a bona fide top starter who can walk into any situation against any club and succeed, than he had the perfect opportunity to prove it Thursday night at Fenway Park.

Coco Crisp's solo homer to lead off the top of the ninth off reliever Darren O'Day sent the Orioles to a numbing 2-1 loss before an announced 33,834 at Camden Yards.
