The Orioles agreed to contract terms for the 2019 season with their three players eligible for salary arbitration — starter Dylan Bundy, closer Mychal Givens, and infielder Jonathan Villar — ahead of Friday’s deadline, according to an industry source.

Bundy, the 26-year-old former first-round pick, is in his first year of salary arbitration, though because he signed a major league contract when the Orioles selected him fourth overall in the 2011 MLB draft, he was making above the minimum salary in the years since — he made a reported $1.
