The Orioles announced a host of minor league signings Tuesday as spring training grows nearer, including Bobby Bundy, Jesus Montero, Sharlon Schoop. - Will Darley (Dulaney) scored a season-high 29 points, including seven 3-pointers, as visiting UMBC earned an 84-68 men's basketball victory over Hartford (5-12, 0-2) on Wednesday night.
- The Orioles headed back to Baltimore after their exhibition finale Friday night with their Opening Day roster essentially set. The one question remaining was the same one the Orioles brass has been asking itself the past week.
- Former Orioles right-hander Miguel Gonzalez cleared release waivers Friday, officially receiving his unconditional release from the club and becoming a free agent. It seems unlikely, but the Orioles still hope they can re-sign Gonzalez to a minor league deal and have him pitch in the rotation at Triple-A Norfolk. Gonzalez will likely get a major league offer elsewhere.
- For veteran relievers on minor league deals, you're either lucky enough to have an opt-out or you sit and wait for spring to be over.
- After his scheduled Grapefruit League start on Saturday was rained out, Orioles right-hander Yovani Gallardo will make his next start on Monday in a minor league game.
- New Orioles starter Yovani Gallardo might have had a solid second start of the spring if he hadn¿t run into Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco or, more accurately, Franco had not run into a couple of pitches and driven them over the left field fence to account for four of the five runs Gallardo gave up over 2 1/3 innings of work.
- Over the past few days, the Orioles have gotten strong outings from some of the players they expect to rely on in the back end of the bullpen once camp breaks on March 31.

- 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.
- The Orioles announced their list of 17 nonroster players who will receive invitations to major league spring training.
