Orioles' Ramon Laureano: Gets one-year pact from Baltimore
Rotowire
The Orioles signed Laureano to a one-year, $4 million contract Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Laureano had a strong finish to the 2024 season, slashing .296/.327/.505 with 10 home runs over 67 regular-season games with Atlanta. The 30-year-old is the fourth right-handed or switch-hitting outfielder the Orioles have acquired this offseason, joining Daz Cameron, Tyler O'Neill and Dylan Carlson. Laureano should draw plenty of playing time versus left-handed pitching.

Ramon Laureano: Non-tendered by Atlanta
Rotowire
Atlanta non-tendered Laureano on Friday.
Laureano signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on May 29 after being released by Cleveland two days earlier. He managed to appear in 98 major-league games between the two teams and finished the 2024 regular season slashing .259/.311/.437 with eight stolen bases, 11 home runs and 33 RBI over 309 plate appearances. The 30-year-old Laureano will enter free agency and look to catch on with a team in need of a right-handed hitter in the outfield.

Rotowire
Laureano will start in left field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Laureano will be included the lineup for the sixth time in eight games, with the right-handed-hitting outfielder having picked up four starts versus righties during that span. After previously occupying the short side of a platoon in left field, Laureano appears to have unseated the struggling Jarred Kelenic as the preferred option at the position. Dating back to the All-Star break, Laureano has produced an .858 OPS over 45 games.
