Orioles Claim Roansy Contreras Off Waivers From Yankees
Right-hander Roansy Contreras is on the move again after the Baltimore Orioles announced on Friday that they claimed him off waivers from the New York Yankees. Contreras has now been claimed on waivers five times this offseason, with this being the second time Baltimore has scooped him up. In corresponding moves, the O's designated outfielder Daz Cameron for assignment and outrighted infielder Luis Vazquez to Triple-A Norfolk. If the 25-year-old Contreras doesn't make the Orioles' big-league roster out of spring training, he'll have to be exposed to waivers yet again since he's out of minor-league options. The Dominican hurler was once a top-100 prospect with the Pittsburgh Pirates as a starter, but he has since transitioned to a relief role and posted a 4.35 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and two saves with the Pirates and Angels in 2024 in 68 1/3 total innings.
