Orioles decline outfielder Luis Robert Jr.’s $20 million club option for 2027
Baltimore Orioles have declined outfielder Luis Robert Jr.'s $20 million club option for 2027. The team acquired Robert from the New York Mets on August 31st, assuming a debt of around $4.9 million from the Mets. This included the remainder of the 2026 season's salary and a $2 million buyout of the 2027 option. Robert, who played only three games for the Orioles before joining the injured list due to hamstring problems, has since struggled to recapture the form he displayed as an All-Star in 2023.
His recent performance includes a .221 batting average with 11 home runs and 26 RBIs in 61 games this season.
