Orioles Sign Shane Baz to Five-Year Extension

0:00On March 27, the Baltimore Orioles are close to signing right-hander Shane Boz to a 5-year extension worth $68 million. This deal secures Boz through his prime years, buying out three arbitration seasons and two free agent years that would have come after the 20, 28 season. Boz had already agreed to a $3.5 million salary for 2026, but this extension likely replaces that with new terms. Boz will show about $64.5 million in fresh money spread over four years, though the full breakdown is not out yet. With this move, the Orioles lock in a key arm for the future, while giving Boz stability early in his career. This has been MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
