The Baltimore Orioles have signed right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano to a one-year, $13 million contract, enhancing their pitching rotation. Sugano, a two-time Sawamura Award winner, had an impressive 2023 season with a 1.67 ERA and 15 wins in 24 starts.

As the Orioles seek to strengthen their rotation amid free agency, Sugano joins a lineup that includes Zach Eflin and Grayson Rodriguez. The team is also looking to re-sign Corbin Burnes and has made significant moves to adjust their payroll for the upcoming season.
