Impact Frazier's poor contract year with the Mariners, in which he posted a career-worst .612 OPS in 156 games, results in a modest free-agent deal. The 31-year-old figures to get regular playing time in Baltimore and plenty of opportunities to return to his 2021 form. In that season he slashed .305/.368/.411 with the Pirates and Padres. Frazier also provides a bit of value on the bases, as he's stolen 21 bases over the last two seasons.

Orioles sign OF Nomar Mazara to minor league deal

The Baltimore Orioles have signed outfielder Nomar Mazara to a minor league contract

DECEMBER 6, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nomar Mazara - Joining Orioles' camp Mazara signed a minor-league deal with the Orioles on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Mazara is still just 27 years old and should theoretically be at his peak, but it's been several seasons since he's held down a regular role. He appeared in 55 games for the Padres last season, hitting a modest .264/.316/.352 with two home runs. Mazara's career 89 wRC+ simply isn't good enough for him to be a starting corner outfielder, but it's just passable enough that he could continue to bounce around in a bench role. The Orioles would represent his fifth team in five seasons if he manages to make an appearance.
