The Orioles announced that they have exercise a club option on right-hander while declining their option on left-hander . They also announced that they have exercised options on left-hander and first baseman , as was earlier today. Domnguez will get $8MM next year instead of a $500K buyout. Coulombe could have been brought back for a $4MM salary but instead becomes a free agent with no buyout. Domnguez, 30 this month, was acquired from the Phillies at the trade deadline. He went on to make 25 appearances for the Os with a 3.97 earned run average. He struck out 28.6% of batters faced while giving out walks at a 9.2% clip. The righty now has a 3.59 ERA Koron Crump Jersey , 27.3% strikeout rate, 9.6% walk rate and 45.9% ground ball rate over his 255 career appearances. Some of that has come in leverage situations, as he has racked up 38 saves and 58 holds in his career. Given that generally solid track record, its not really a surprise to see the Orioles plunk down another $7.5MM to keep him from getting away. The decision on Coulombe is a bit more surprising as the lefty has had a solid two-year run with the Os. He has to sed 81 innings for Baltimore since the start of 2023 with a 2.56 ERA, 28.4% strikeout rate, 5.4% walk rate and 45.4% ground ball rate. $4MM for a solid lefty reliever like that seems like good value for money but Coulombe also had some challenges this year. He underwent surgery in June to remove bone chips removed from his throwing elbow. He was able to come off the IL in September, making four appearances for the club down the stretch and one in the postseason, but that seemingly wasnt enough to convince the Os to keep him around for next year. They could circle back to him in free agency but Coulombe will have a chance to speak to all of the other clubs as well. The fact that hes now 35 and coming off an injury-marred season will hurt his earning power but his results over the past two years will work in his favor. Devin Funchess Jersey
