The Baltimore front office just made a massive statement. Right-hander Shane Baz is officially locked in with the Orioles on a brand new five-year, $68 million contract extension. The deal begins this season and strategically buys out two of his eventual free-agent years. Baltimore traded significant prospect capital to land the 26-year-old pitcher over the…
Baseball is a beautifully unpredictable game, and nothing embodies that quite like the Baltimore Orioles handing a five-year, $68 million extension to a pitcher who has barely eclipsed 280 innings in the big leagues. But when that pitcher is Shane Baz, you don’t just look at the innings total; you look at the pure, unadulterated…

There is nothing quite like the electric, unbridled optimism of Opening Day. The smell of stale beer, the crisp late-March air, and the belief that maybe this is the year. For the New York Mets and their faithful at a sold-out Citi Field, Thursday afternoon wasn’t just a victory. It was an 11-7 statement piece…
Pittsburgh Pirates fans entered Opening Day with sky-high expectations.
