The Baltimore Orioles have signed right-handed pitcher Kyle Gibson to a one-year contract worth $5.25 million, with potential performance bonuses totaling an additional $1.525 million. Gibson, 37, returns to the Orioles after a season with the St. Louis Cardinals where he posted a 4.24 ERA in 30 starts. The Orioles' rotation is currently dealing with injuries, including Grayson Rodriguez, who is on the injured list. Gibson's previous stint with the Orioles in 2023 saw him achieve a record of 15-9 with a 4.73 ERA over 33 starts.
