Orioles Sign Veteran Catcher Gary Sánchez to One-Year Deal

The former Yankees All-Star joins Baltimore as a backup catcher on a $8.5 million contract.

Gary Sánchez, a two-time All-Star, has signed a one-year, $8.5 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles, according to multiple reports.
Sánchez, 32, will serve as a backup to Adley Rutschman, providing depth and power to the Orioles' roster.
The veteran catcher hit .220 with 11 home runs and 37 RBIs in 89 games last season with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Since leaving the Yankees in 2021, Sánchez has played for four different teams, including the Twins, Mets, Padres, and Brewers.
Sánchez brings experience and a power-hitting pedigree to an Orioles team aiming for an AL East title with its young core.
