The Baltimore Orioles announced a five-year contract extension with right-hander Shane Baz worth $68 million, the largest ever for a pitcher in franchise history. The deal, which begins immediately, covers his arbitration years in 2027 and 2028 and buys out two free-agent seasons. Baz, acquired from the Rays in December, is set to make his Orioles debut Sunday against the Twins.
The Baltimore Orioles finished last in the American League East in 2025 with a 75-87 record but have been the most active team in the division this offseason. Aiming to replicate the Toronto Blue Jays' rebound from last to first, Baltimore added key players like Pete Alonso and Ryan Helsley. President of baseball operations Mike Elias described the division as a competitive 'cage match' with all five teams vying for the top spot.

The Baltimore Orioles have bolstered their starting rotation by acquiring right-handed pitcher Shane Baz from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for four prospects and a 2026 draft pick.
