Orioles Rookie Who Had A Hot Start Needs A Reset In The Minors
Colton Cowser got off to a scorching start during the 2024 season. However, since his incredible first month, his performance has been subpar. Taken with the fifth pick in the 2021 MLB draft out of Sam Houston State University, Cowser was a surprise pick. Despite being an under-slot selection, Cowser made his big league debut two years later in 2023. Although he went just 7-61 in his first taste of the MLB, Cowser remained a highly touted prospect. Cowser made the opening day roster for the Orioles in 2024 and had an incredible first month, becoming a rookie of the year front runner. But Cowser has cooled off since his great start, and a trip back down to Triple-A Norfolk may help him get back on track.
Jason Wright is out as Washington Commanders president and will leave the team after the '24 season
Jason Wright, who four years ago became the first Black president of an NFL team, is no longer in that role with the Washington Commanders and is expected to leave the organization after this season. A team spokesperson confirmed Thursday that Wright is departing the organization and will remain in a senior advisory role for the time being while the search for his successor is ongoing. That is expected to get underway soon as the ownership group led by Josh Harris that assumed control last year continues to reshape the franchise. “This feels like the right moment for me to explore my next leadership opportunity,” Wright said. “We have taken this franchise through a period of immense challenge and uncertainty and have transformed it. We’ve set the table for an incredibly bright future under Josh’s leadership.” Wright is expected to maintain similar responsibilities in the coming months, specifically focusing on a naming rights deal and the process of determining a new stadium site and further developments on that front. The team’s lease at the stadium formerly known as FedEx Field is set to expire in 2027.
