Over the weekend, the Baltimore Orioles reunited with starting pitcher Zach Eflin. The Orioles reportedly inked the right-hander to a one-year deal worth $10 million with a mutual option for 2027. According to FanSided's Robert Murray, Eflin will receive $5 million salary plus a $3 million signing bonus for 2026. His option contains a $2 million buyout plus incentives.
Eflin certainly fills a need for an Orioles team that is starved for starting pitching, but one has to wonder if this latest signing is a signal that Baltimore is no longer shopping for a top-of-the-rotation starter this winter.
