Tomoyuki Sugano has signed a one-year, $13 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles, marking his long-awaited arrival in Major League Baseball. The 35-year-old right-hander comes off an impressive MVP season in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball, where he achieved a 15-3 record and a 1.67 ERA.

With the Orioles facing pitching uncertainties, Sugano's addition could provide much-needed depth. The team is navigating free agency and injuries among key pitchers, making Sugano a valuable asset as they look to maintain their competitive edge.
