Orioles, Kyle Bradish Agree To Five-Year Extension
Key Points:
- The Baltimore Orioles have signed right-hander Kyle Bradish to a five-year, $90 million extension, keeping him under contract through the 2031 season.
- The deal covers Bradish’s final two arbitration years and three free-agent seasons, with salaries increasing from $10 million in 2025 to $28 million in 2029.
- Bradish, 29, has a 3.61 ERA this season despite elbow issues that required surgery in 2024, and he is on track to surpass his previous career high in innings pitched.
