Eight members of the Baltimore Orioles elected free agency on Thursday, including Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes and slugging outfielder Anthony Santander.
The right-handed Burnes, 30, was 15-9 with a 2.92 ERA in 32 games in his first season with the Orioles after being traded by the Milwaukee Brewers, with whom he won the National League Cy Young Award in 2021.
Santander, also 30, hit .235 in 2024 but had 44 home runs and drove in 102 runs.
Also taking the step were right-hander Brooks Kriske, left-handed pitcher John Means, catcher James McCann and outfielder Austin Slater.
