Kyle Bradish, Orioles Agree to 5-Year Contract Extension, Reported Details Revealed

The Baltimore Orioles announced Saturday that starting pitcher Kyle Bradish has signed a five-year extension that will keep him under contract through the 2031 season.

According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, it's a five-year, $90 million pact.

The deal will replace Bradish's arbitration years in 2027-28 while adding three more seasons to his contract.

The 29-year-old is having a solid 2026 campaign, going 6-9 in 19 starts with a 3.61 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 106 strikeouts in 107.1 innings. It's been a solid bounce-back campaign after he required Tommy John surgery in June 2024, cutting short that season after eight starts.

He didn't return until Aug. 2025, making just six starts last season.

It was a disappointing development after his superb 2023 season (12-7, 2.83 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 168 strikeouts in 168.2 innings), when he looked like one of MLB's most promising starting pitchers.

The Orioles haven't been shy about locking up core players to extensions in the past year, also agreeing to deals with pitcher Shane Baz and catcher/designated hitter Samuel Basallo.

"Keeping players of Kyle's caliber in an Orioles uniform is an important part of our long-term vision," team owner David Rubenstein said in a statement on Saturday. "We are grateful to Kyle for his commitment to our organization and to Baltimore. Thanks to Mike Elias and the entire baseball operations department for their dedication throughout this process."
