Matt Bowman Lands Minors Deal With Orioles
1 month agoFree-agent right-hander Matt Bowman signed a minor-league deal that includes an invitation to major-league spring training on Friday with the Baltimore Orioles. Bowman will make $1.1 million if he's in the majors plus $400,000 in incentives. The 33-year-old veteran was originally a 13th-round pick out of Princeton in 2012 by the New York Mets. He bounced around in 2024 with four different teams at the major-league level -- the Minnesota Twins, Arizona Diamondbacks, Seattle Mariners and Orioles -- and finished with a 4.40 ERA (5.19 FIP), a 1.27 WHIP and a 24:13 K:BB in only 30 2/3 combined innings over 25 appearances (one start). Bowman has a 4.17 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP, two saves and a 176:77 K:BB in 216 career innings at the big-league level since debuting with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2016. He'll represent relief depth for Baltimore in 2025.
