We’re officially less than a month away from Orioles’ pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training!

In an MLB release on Tuesday afternoon, it was announced that the Orioles will start reporting to Sarasota on February 12, with their first workout scheduled for February 13.

Pitchers and catchers arrive first, as always, and will be followed by the rest of the squad with the first full-team workout on February 18.

The O’s will be one of the last teams to start training. They’re one of just 9 teams with a first full-squad workout on the 18th. The rest of the league will start earlier.

The Cubs will lead off, with their first pitchers and catchers workout scheduled for February 9, and their first full-team workout scheduled for February 14.

The fact that we’re so close to spring training is really a breath of fresh air. The Orioles are seemingly unfinished with their roster construction ahead of 2025, if Mike Elias’ recent comments are to be believed.

However, with spring training now so close, the front office is running out of time to make meaningful moves ahead of next year.

In addition to the spring training updates, we’ve also seen the release of information about the 2025 Birdland Caravan.

Fans will have the chance to interact with a number of players who weren’t part of the festivities last year, as Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, and Jackson Holliday are all scheduled to make appearances.

For now, the Orioles are scheduled to make appearances in Baltimore, Columbia, Ellicott City, Severn, Bel Air, and Halethorpe, with three additional locations to be announced later.

The events will run between Thursday, January 30 and Saturday, February 1.

At present, there’s a pop-up photo event scheduled for January 30. The location will be announced the day before the event, but will reportedly take place in Frederick County. A second pop-up photo event will take place the following day in Harford County.

There is currently a scheduled happy hour event at Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Halethorpe, with a number of Orioles players scheduled to make appearances.

Limited advance tickets are available for $5, but will surely sell out before the event. There will be an additional happy hour event at PBR Baltimore, with limited tickets available at $10. That event will certainly sell out quickly as well.

On Saturday February 1, there will be a bowling event at Bowlero in Columbia, and a ticketed kid’s rally in Severn, as well as a Play Ball event in Ellicott City.

Additional details on all events can be found on the Orioles website.
