The Baltimore Orioles have reached an agreement with free-agent relief pitcher Lou Trivino on a major-league contract, according to a report from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
Trivino, a veteran right-hander, joins the Baltimore organization as the team looks to bolster its bullpen depth. The 32-year-old pitcher has previously spent time with the Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees. He missed the entirety of the 2023 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery and has been working toward a return to the mound throughout the current calendar year.
During his last active season in 2022, Trivino appeared in 63.2 innings, split between Oakland and New York. While he struggled early that year with the Athletics, he found significant success after being traded to the Yankees, posting a 1.66 ERA across 25 appearances in the Bronx. Over his five-year major league career, he carries a 3.91 ERA and has recorded 38 saves, offering the Orioles a high-leverage option if he returns to his previous form.
The financial terms and duration of the contract have not yet been officially disclosed by the club. The Orioles front office continues to be active in the market as they aim to maintain their position at the top of the American League East standings.
