Orioles agree to 1-year, $975,000 deal with OF Dylan Carlson
BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles agreed to terms with Dylan Carlson on a $975,000, one-year contract Monday, a couple of months after the outfielder was non-tendered by the Tampa Bay Rays.
Carlson was a first-round draft pick in 2016 by the St. Louis Cardinals, and he hit 18 home runs in his first full season in 2021. Since then, however, he’s hit only 16.
Carlson hit .209 with three home runs and 25 RBIs in 96 games for the Cardinals and Rays in 2024, but at age 26 the switch-hitter may still have some upside and can play all three outfield spots.
The Orioles lost right fielder Anthony Santander to Toronto via free agency, and they’ve added outfielder Tyler O’Neill. Also in the mix for playing time in the Baltimore outfield are Cedric Mullins, Colton Cowser and Heston Kjerstad.
Carlson’s deal includes a $25,000 bonus if he reaches 200 plate appearances.
The Baltimore Orioles have made a significant move in free agency, agreeing to a 1-year, $975,000 deal with outfielder Dylan Carlson. The 23-year-old is coming off a strong season with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he hit .257 with 18 home runs and 65 RBIs in 141 games.
Carlson brings a combination of power and speed to the Orioles lineup, and his versatility in the outfield will provide valuable depth for the team. With his youth and potential for further development, Carlson could be a key piece in the Orioles’ rebuilding efforts.
Orioles fans should be excited about the addition of Carlson and the potential impact he could have on the team in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates as the offseason progresses. #Orioles #MLB #DylanCarlson
