Orioles Sign Dylan Carlson to One-Year, $975K Deal

The 26-year-old outfielder joins Baltimore after being non-tendered by the Rays, with hopes of a career rebound.

Dylan Carlson, a former first-round draft pick, signed a one-year, $975,000 contract with the Baltimore Orioles, including a $25,000 incentive for reaching 200 plate appearances.
Carlson, 26, was non-tendered by the Tampa Bay Rays after a challenging 2024 season, where he hit .209 with three home runs across 96 games.
Once a top-20 prospect and NL Rookie of the Year finalist in 2021, Carlson has struggled to replicate his early success due to injuries and declining performance over the past three seasons.
The Orioles added Carlson to bolster their outfield depth after losing Anthony Santander to free agency, joining a mix that includes Cedric Mullins, Tyler O’Neill, Colton Cowser, and Heston Kjerstad.
To make room for Carlson on the 40-man roster, the Orioles designated infielder Jacob Amaya for assignment.
