Orioles Sign Tyler O'Neill to 3-Year, $49.5 Million Deal

The veteran outfielder brings power and defensive versatility to Baltimore's roster, with an opt-out option after 2025.

Tyler O'Neill, 29, joins the Orioles on a three-year contract worth $49.5 million, pending a physical, with an opt-out clause after the 2025 season.
O'Neill hit 31 home runs with an .847 OPS for the Red Sox in 2024, earning AL Comeback Player of the Year honors.
The right-handed slugger is expected to address Baltimore's need for a power bat against left-handed pitching, complementing their left-heavy lineup.
O'Neill's defensive flexibility allows him to play both corner outfield positions, which could be key if free agent Anthony Santander departs.
This marks the Orioles' first multiyear free-agent signing under GM Mike Elias, reflecting the team's increased financial commitment under new ownership.
