Baltimore Orioles Major League Baseball Luis Robert Jr. Zach Eflin contract options

The Baltimore Orioles are navigating several roster and financial decisions following the conclusion of the World Series. The club reportedly declined a $20 million club option for Luis Robert Jr., a move influenced by his limited availability due to injury during his tenure with the team.

Additionally, the Orioles declined their half of a $25 million mutual option for Zach Eflin for the 2027 season. This decision follows Eflin’s need for Tommy John surgery after making only one start for the team in 2026.

In related MLB news, Ryan Helsley has opted into a $14 million player option for 2027, despite being limited to 17 games in 2026 due to injuries.
