Orioles Sign Veteran Pitcher Kyle Gibson to One-Year Deal

The Baltimore Orioles have re-signed veteran right-hander Kyle Gibson to a one-year contract worth $5.25 million, with additional incentives. Gibson, who previously pitched for the Orioles in 2023, will provide depth to the rotation, especially with the absence of ace Grayson Rodriguez due to injury. Last season, Gibson posted a 4.24 ERA with the St. Louis Cardinals, and he was an All-Star with the Texas Rangers in 2021 when he achieved a 2.87 ERA. His experience as a reliable innings-eater in the league, along with his previous successful stint with Baltimore, positions him well to contribute to the team's pitching staff. Gibson's return is seen as a strategic move to bolster the Orioles amid roster changes in the offseason. The signing comes just days before the start of the new season, highlighting the Orioles' focus on enhancing their pitching capabilities.
