Orioles non-tendering reliever Jacob Webb

SCROLL DOWN TO READ ARTICLE


The Orioles are non-tendering right-handed reliever Jacob Webb according to an industry source. Webb, whom MLBTradeRumors.com estimated would draw a $1.7 million salary in 2025, missed six weeks this past season because of right elbow inflammation.

Webb, who was fourth on the Orioles with 60 appearances, was 2-5 with a 3.02 ERA. He allowed just over six hits per nine innings but walked 4.3 batters per nine.

Webb joins left-hander Danny Coulombe, whose $4 million option for 2025 was declined earlier this month as bullpen mainstays cut loose by the team.

The Baltimore Banner was first with this news.

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Orioles and corner infielder Emmanuel Rivera reached agreement on a $1.1 million contract for 2025.

The deadline for tendering 2025 contracts is 8 p.m. Friday.
