The Orioles added another player to their offseason free agent haul on Monday afternoon, who like every other guy they have signed adds no particular excitement for the coming season. The team scooped everyone with its announcement that they have signed outfielder Dylan Carlson to a one-year contract for the 2025 season. MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reports that it’s a $975,000 guarantee on the signing.
Carlson is a 26-year-old switch-hitter who has a decent amount of MLB-level experience at all three outfield positions. The former late-first round pick by the Cardinals from 2016 eventually worked his way into having top-20 prospect stock prior to the 2021 season.
