With spring nearly upon us, time running short for Orioles to punctuate encouraging offseason
Is another notable move coming before pitchers and catchers report to Sarasota next week?
February 3, 2026
Are the Orioles really “armed” for April?
The new ownership group reached deep into the monetary reserve to sign slugger Pete Alonso in Baltimore but what’s up with the pitching? Luke Jones and Nestor discuss that one more arm the Orioles need in the rotation – not to mention a too-thin bullpen – in preparation for pitchers and catchers to report to the refurbished facility in Sarasota.
Third time is a charm? The dream of Weaver comes back to Baltimore, again
We’re so old that we remember when young Anthony Weaver was a Baltimore Ravens draft pick from Notre Dame and NFL hopeful playing on the defensive line. With rookie head coach Jesse Minter calling the plays for the defense, he turned to a trusted Owings Mills veteran in bringing Weaver back for third time to the organization as the new defensive coordinator. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the decision and the personnel in making it work.
The fresh faces of Santa Clara and Super Bowl LX
It’s not Belichick and Brady or The Legion of Boom but the franchises look familiar even if the matchup in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara feels like old blood. Luke Jones and Nestor preview a compelling if not star-studded affair as the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are doing it with fresh faces and familiar old friends.
When the NFL offensive coordinator is the same age as the quarterback
The new King of The Castle has begun to assemble his coaching staff and the Jesse Minter organization includes a 29-year old, first-time offensive coordinator and play caller in Declan Doyle, who will be charged with maximizing the efficiency of Lamar Jackson as the Baltimore Ravens retool everything with a new head coach. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss what that might look like with some new personnel, which will be the next phase of the young offseason.
