The Orioles won’t have any players going to arbitration hearings after settling on a 2025 contract with an option for 2026 with infielder/outfielder Jorge Mateo.

Mateo, who missed nearly the entire second half of the season with a left elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery in August, settled for $3.55 million, according to Francys Romero.

He filed for $4 million and the Orioles countered with $3.1 million, so they settled halfway between the figures.

Mateo’s option for 2026 is valued between $5.5 million and $6 million, according to Romero.

Mateo, who came to the Orioles in August 2021, hit .229 with a .668 OPS last season, with five home runs and 18 RBIs. He stole 13 bases in 15 attempts.

In 2022, Mateo played in a career-high 150 games, and led the American League with 35 stolen bases, and hit 13 home runs and drove in 50 runs while hitting .221 with a .646 OPS.
