The Baltimore Orioles sign right-handed reliever Yennier Cano to a two-year contract extension, covering the 2027 and 2028 seasons, the club announces. The agreement also includes a club option for the 2029 season. The extension effectively resolves Cano’s remaining arbitration years and gives Baltimore the ability to retain him for an additional year if it chooses. Several reports note that the timing of the deal matters because Cano was viewed as a potentially available relief arm around the trade deadline, but the contract keeps him with the Orioles. Cano, who turns 32, has been with Baltimore since 2022. Orioles president Mike Elias says in a statement that Cano has been “outstanding” for the team both on and off the field since arriving in 2022. Taken together, the coverage presents the move as a continuation of Baltimore’s bullpen stability rather than a trade scenario.
