Roansy Contreras - Claimed by Baltimore The Orioles claimed Contreras off waivers from the Reds on Friday.
Impact Contreras has now bounced around from the Angels to the Rangers to the Reds and now to the Orioles via the waivers process since late October. He is out of minor-league options, so the right-hander will have to be on Baltimore's Opening Day roster -- likely as a long reliever -- or would need to go through the waivers process again.

Orioles agree to $10 million, 1-year deal with reliever Andrew Kittredge, AP source says
A person with knowledge of the deal says the Baltimore Orioles have agreed to a $10 million, one-year contract with reliever Andrew Kittredge4 DAYS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Andrew Kittredge - Headed to Baltimore Kittredge and the Orioles agreed on a one-year, $10 million contract Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kittredge will cash in after a 2024 campaign with the Cardinals in which he appeared in 74 games, producing a 2.80 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 67 strikeouts over 70.2 innings. Additionally, the right-hander compiled 37 holds in 2024, while going 1-for-8 in save opportunities. The 34-year-old will now likely operate in a high-leverage role out of the Orioles' bullpen in 2025.

Ramón Urías - Agrees to deal with O's Urias and the Orioles agreed to a one-year, $3.2 million contract to avoid arbitration Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Urias is one of Baltimore's top utility infield options, and he earned 301 plate appearances in 2024. He matched his career-best mark with a 115 wRC+, though he still had only 11 homers and one stolen base. Urias will earn a $1.1 million raise from 2024.

Tyler Wells - Reaches deal with Baltimore Wells (elbow) and the Orioles avoided arbitration after agreeing to a one-year, $2.075 million contract Thursday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Impact Wells started in just three games during the 2024 regular season before undergoing a UCL revision and internal brace augmentation surgery on his right elbow in mid-June. It's a procedure that needs at least 12 months or so of rehab, so Wells should be able to join the Orioles' rotation by midseason.

Keegan Akin - Avoids arbitration Akin agreed to a one-year, $1.475 million contract with the Orioles on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Impact Akin is coming off of a 2024 campaign in which produced a 3.32 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with 97 strikeouts, six holds and a save over 78.2 innings in 66 appearances with Baltimore. The left-hander appears to be geared up to operate in a significant role out of the bullpen with the Orioles again in 2025.

Gregory Soto - Avoids hearing with O's Soto agreed to a one-year, $5.35 million contract with the Orioles on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Impact After being sent to Baltimore from Philadelphia at the trade deadline, Soto turned in a 5.09 ERA and 1.53 WHIP alongside a 21:7 K:BB over 17.2 innings. His poor performance will net him just a $350,000 raise in his final year of arbitration eligibility, and he appears destined to work in middle relief next season.
