The Baltimore Orioles have agreed to a long-term contract extension with catcher/first baseman Samuel Basallo. Basallo's pact will cover eight years and guarantee him $67 million. The deal includes a club option for the 2034 season, as well as incentives and escalators that could allow him to max out at $88.5 million.

Five days after making his MLB debut, Samuel Basallo has reportedly signed a long-term contract extension with the Baltimore Orioles.

The Orioles placed catcher Adley Rutschman on the injured list with a right oblique strain, which means more playing time for Samuel Basallo.
