Impact Tate has evolved into a solid late-inning reliever for the Orioles, having put up a 3.05 ERA and 60:16 K:BB over 73.2 innings in 2022 with five saves and 16 holds. He'll help set up for Felix Bautista in 2023.

Dillon Tate - Avoids arbitration with Baltimore Tate signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Orioles on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Austin Hays - Avoids arbitration with Orioles Hays and the Orioles agreed on a one-year, $3.2 million contract Friday, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hays and the organization will avoid arbitration after coming to terms on a deal for 2023 on Friday. The outfielder batted .250 with 16 home runs, 60 RBI, 66 runs and two stolen bases over 535 at-bats in 145 games with Baltimore last season. The 27-year-old has the inside track to remain the Orioles' starting left fielder in 2023.

Anthony Santander - Gets $7.4 million from Orioles Santander signed a one-year, $7.4 million contract with the Orioles on Friday to avoid arbitration, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Santander slugged a career-high 33 home runs for the Orioles in 2022, producing a .773 OPS along the way. It was also the first time he's managed to stay healthy for a full season (not counting 2020), so the 28-year-old doesn't seem like a great bet to avoid the injured list again in 2023. He'll provide power for fantasy managers when on the field, though.
JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cedric Mullins - Gets $4.1 million from Baltimore Mullins signed a one-year, $4.1 million contract with the Orioles on Friday to avoid arbitration, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mullins took a step back in 2022 after his breakout 2021 season, but he was still pretty productive with a .721 OPS, 16 home runs and 34 stolen bases. The 28-year-old did sit against some left-handed pitching down the stretch last season, which is something to keep in mind when evaluating his fantasy prospects for 2023.

The Baltimore Orioles have assigned first baseman Ryan O’Hearn to Triple-A NorfolkJANUARY 13, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ryan O'Hearn - Outrighted to Triple-A O'Hearn cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact O'Hearn was designated for assignment by the Orioles late last week after being DFA'd by the Royals, but he'll remain in his organization this time around. The 29-year-old will likely have a chance to compete for a major-league roster spot during spring training.

Lewin Díaz - Loses 40-man spot once again The Orioles designated Diaz for assignment Wednesday, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Impact For the fifth time this offseason, Diaz has been moved off an organization's 40-man roster with the Orioles needing a spot for reliever Darwinzon Hernandez, who was acquired from the Red Sox. The 26-year-old Diaz's prospect pedigree and strong minor-league production have made him an intriguing pickup on the cheap this offseason, but his poor results at the big-league level and lack of defensive versatility have also kept him on the periphery of 40-man rosters.

Mariners to induct Félix Hernández into team Hall of Fame

Darwinzon Hernandez - Stays in AL East with O's The Orioles acquired Hernandez from the Red Sox on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.
Impact Baltimore designated first baseman Lewin Diaz for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Hernandez, a 26-year-old lefty reliever. With a 32.3 percent strikeout rate over his 91 career MLB appearances, Hernandez's upside is easy to recognize, but an inability to keep free passes in check prevented him from claiming a notable role in Boston's bullpen over the last few years. Hernandez's 17.7 percent walk rate is the worst mark among all pitchers in the majors with at least 80 inning pitched since the start of the 2019 season.

Impact Vespi will begin a rehab process in Sarasota next week, and he's expected to be ready to return to game action early in the 2023 season. The southpaw made his major-league debut in 2022 and posted a 4.10 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 26.1 innings over 25 appearances with the Orioles.

Ryan O'Hearn - DFA'd by Baltimore O'Hearn was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Thursday.
Impact O'Hearn was acquired by the Orioles earlier this week after being DFA'd by the Royals, and he's now been booted off another 40-man roster. The 29-year-old appeared in 67 games last season and had a .239/.290/.321 slash line with one homer and 16 RBI. Lewin Diaz was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.

Lewin Díaz - Headed back to Baltimore Diaz was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Thursday.
Impact It's been quite a whirlwind for Diaz this offseason, as he's gone from Miami to Pittsburgh to Baltimore to Atlanta and now back to the O's via either waivers or trade. This time he's taking the roster spot of Ryan O'Hearn, who was just acquired by the Orioles on Tuesday. Assuming he isn't on the move again before Opening Day, Diaz will compete for playing time at first base against righties.
