The Orioles have agreed to a minor league pact with right-handed reliever , Jon Heyman of the New York Post. The ZS Sports client recently opted out of a minor league deal with the Twins. Bowmans deal in Baltimore pays him a prorated $ William Lagesson Jersey 1MM base salary and contains an upward mobility clause next week (Aug. 22) and a straight opt-out clause on Aug. 28. Baltimore will be Bowmans fourth organization of the season. Hes pitched in both the majors and minors for each of the Twins, D-backs and Mariners as well in 2024. His big league work includes a 5.40 ERA in a small sample of 15 innings, but hes posted an excellent 2.05 ERA with a 28.9% strikeout rate and 6.6% walk rate in 30 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level. Originally a 13th-round pick out of Princeton by the 2012 Mets, Bowman has pitched 200 1/3 MLB frames acro s parts of six seasons. He owns a career 4.22 ERA, 18.8% strikeout rate, 8.3% walk rate and 55.6% grounder rate in the majors. Bowmans Orioles deal continues a dizzying string of transactions involving the journeyman righty this season. He originally signed a minor league deal with the Twins but was designated for a signment not long after being selected to the MLB roster and traded to the D-backs for cash. Upon being designated for a signment in Arizona, he cleared waivers and elected free agency, going on to ink a minor league deal with the Mariners. He was back in the majors shortly thereafter but designated for a signment a third time. Bowman elected free agency, re-signed with Seattle, triggered an opt-out a few weeks later, then re-signed with Minnesota on a new minor league deal only to opt out of that minor league contract earlier this week. The clauses in Bowmans contract could lead to further movement in the two weeks ahead. Next weeks upward mobility clause would require the Orioles to gauge whether any of the other 29 clubs around the league is willing to put Bowman on the 40-man roster. If so, the Os would need to either add him to their own 40-man roster or facilitate a move sending Bowman to the organization thats willing to do so. His Aug. 28 out date would again give the Os 48 hours to add Bowman to the roster and, if they choose not to, give Bowman a brief window to sign with a new team before Aug. 31 the deadline for players to be eligible for their organizations postseason roster.
