-
The Orioles' batting order for today's spring training home opener gives a good indication of how manager Buck Showalter is looking to stack his lineup this season.
-
Most of the Orioles' starting lineup is set, even though the batting order remains unclear. Unless an injury hits the starting rotation, the addition of right-hander Yovani Gallardo gives the Orioles their five starters. The burning questions entering the Grapefruit League schedule center around the team's starting corner outfield spots, the composition of the back end of the bullpen and how the Orioles round out their bench.
-
The emergence of fast-rising minor league prospect Trey Mancini could prompt the Orioles to find out whether fellow first base prospect Christian Walker can play a corner outfield position

-
The Orioles collectively attempted to move on from the Dexter Fowler fiasco on Friday, one day removed from being blind-sided by news that the veteran outfielder was remaining with the Chicago Cubs instead of joining the Orioles. Now, the club is left with more questions than answers.
-
Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy hasn¿t worn No. 49 long enough to be attached to the jersey number, so when the team added right-hander Yovani Gallardo ¿ who has worn No. 49 over his entire major league career ¿ he easily gave it up.
-
Outfielder Dexter Fowler, who had reached an agreement with the Orioles on a three-year, $33 million contract, has signed a one-year deal to remain with the Chicago Cubs, the Cubs announced Thursday.
-
Outfielder Dexter Fowler¿s 11th-hour turn Thursday from the Orioles to the Chicago Cubs leaves the Orioles in a difficult spot over a week into spring training.

-
The Orioles filled the final hole in their batting order with the deal that has been worked out with free agent outfielder Dexter Fowler.
-
Buck Showalter held his first press gathering of spring training in the media workroom of the Ed Smith Stadium complex, and alluded to the fact that he could be in the same room a few days from now for a press conference to introduce a new free-agent signing. The Orioles are still engaged in negotiations to sign right-hander Yovani Gallardo and outfielder Dexter Fowler. Though neither has agreed to terms with the club, the Orioles were still considered the leading candidates for both.
-
Whether the Orioles are ultimately able to lock up Yovani Gallardo and Dexter Fowler remains to be seen. Regardless of the outcome, the club heads into spring training this year with few roster and position battles. That's because leading up to this point, the Orioles' offseason focused on keeping its core group intact, and they've done that in retaining first baseman Chris Davis, setup man Darren O'Day and catcher Matt Wieters.
-
Orioles outfield prospect Dariel Alvarez will enter spring training later this month coming off a strong showing in the just-completed Caribbean Series.

Mark Trumbo is an insurance policy for the Orioles if Chris Davis does not re-sign and might prevent Steve Pearce from being on the roster.
-
That first domino probably fell on Sunday, when the right-hander Jordan Zimmermann reportedly agreed to terms on a five-year, $110-million deal with the Detroit Tigers.
-
The Orioles most likely don't have enough to trade for an all star quality outfielder.
-

It was interesting how Friday's game played out -- and that no brawls occurred.
-
The Orioles welcomed back one of their banged-up veterans to the starting lineup Friday, while another was out because of a lingering injury.

Catcher Matt Wieters, who had been dealing with a sore left wrist for a week but started Tuesday, was out of the lineup with lingering wrist soreness.
