Orioles Re-sign Left-handed Pitcher Dietrich Enns for 2026 with 2027 Option

The Baltimore Orioles have re-signed left-handed reliever Dietrich Enns to a one-year contract for the 2026 season, which includes a club option for 2027. Enns, 34, was acquired by the Orioles mid-2025 season after starting with the Detroit Tigers, and he performed strongly down the stretch with a 3.14 ERA and 34 strikeouts over 28.2 innings. Previously, Baltimore held a $3 million club option for Enns in 2026 but chose to negotiate a new deal, providing the team cost certainty and an additional year of control. Enns has experience pitching in Major League Baseball as well as in Japan's NPB and Korea's KBO, and he is expected to open the 2026 season in Baltimore's bullpen with potential versatility as a starter. His strong strikeout rates and ability to miss bats made him a valuable addition after the trade deadline. The new contract also grants Enns the right to become a free agent at the end of the 2026 season if he chooses.
