Overview

  • The Orioles announced Saturday that they agreed to a five-year, $90 million extension with right-hander Kyle Bradish that covers 2027–31 and contains no option years.
  • The deal buys out Bradish’s final two arbitration years and what would have been his first three free-agent seasons, locking him into the club through the 2031 season.
  • Bradish, 29, returned from Tommy John surgery in 2024 and posted a full 2026 season with 19 starts and a 3.61 ERA, giving the Orioles confidence to commit long term.
  • With Shane Baz already signed to a multi-year extension, Baltimore now controls its top two starters through at least the 2030 season, reinforcing the front office’s strategy to retain homegrown talent.
  • The $90 million guarantee briefly makes Bradish the franchise’s highest-paid pitcher and will affect near-term roster and payroll decisions, including negotiations for other arbitration-eligible and soon-to-be free agents.
