Kyle Gibson Joins Orioles on One-Year, $5.25 Million Deal

The Baltimore Orioles have signed veteran pitcher Kyle Gibson to a one-year contract worth $5.25 million, which includes performance bonuses. Gibson, who previously played for the Orioles in 2023 and had a solid season with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2024, is expected to provide depth to a rotation affected by injuries to key players like Grayson Rodriguez and Kyle Bradish. Despite his age, the 37-year-old has consistently demonstrated his durability and effectiveness on the mound, having pitched significant innings over recent seasons. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde praised Gibson's leadership and performance, noting his ability to keep the team competitive. Although Gibson's return is welcome, he may not be ready for the start of the season due to limited spring training participation. With Gibson's signing, the Orioles hope to stabilize their pitching staff as they navigate a challenging start to the season.
