Baltimore Orioles have made some key decisions regarding their roster for the 2025 season. They’ve exercised options on Ryan O’Hearn, Seranthony Domínguez, and Cionel Pérez, while declining the option on Danny Coulombe ¹.
*O’Hearn’s Return*
Ryan O’Hearn’s $8 million team option for 2025 has been picked up, securing his spot as a key cog in the Orioles’ lineup ¹. Over his two seasons in Baltimore, O’Hearn has slashed .275/.329/.450 with 43 doubles, 29 home runs, and 119 RBIs in 254 games. His versatility, playing both first base and corner outfield positions, makes him a valuable asset to the team ¹.
*Domínguez and Pérez*
The Orioles have also opted to retain Seranthony Domínguez ($8 million) and Cionel Pérez ($2.2 million) for the 2025 season ¹. Domínguez, acquired from the Phillies ahead of the 2024 Trade Deadline, recorded a 3.97 ERA over 25 appearances for Baltimore and picked up 10 saves ¹. Pérez, another left-handed reliever, has been solid in his three seasons with the Orioles, despite a rough September ².
*Coulombe’s Departure*
In a surprise move, the Orioles declined Danny Coulombe’s $4 million team option for 2025 ¹. Coulombe had a 2.12 ERA in 33 games and allowed only 15 hits in 29 2/3 innings, but missed half the season due to surgery to remove bone chips from his left elbow ².
*What’s Next?*
These decisions set the stage for the Orioles’ offseason plans. With O’Hearn, Domínguez, and Pérez on board, the team can focus on addressing other areas of need. The free-agent signing period begins soon, and the Orioles will likely explore options to bolster their roster ¹. Stay tuned for more updates on the Orioles’ offseason moves!
