Corbin Martin Elects Free Agency

The Orioles announced Thursday that right-hander , whom they designated for a signment this past Sunday, has cleared waivers and rejected an outright a signment to Triple-A Norfolk. Hes now a free agent. The 29-year-old Martin appeared in one game for the Os his first time on a big league mound since the 2022 season with the Rick Sutcliffe Jersey D-backs. The former second-round pick was one of four players traded by the Astros to Arizona in 2019s trade. Martin was rehabbing from Tommy John surgery at the time of that trade and was ultimately unable to establish himself with the Diamondbacks. Hes pitched 57 2/3 innings in the big leagues to this point in his career (including his quick look with the Os) and carries a 6.56 ERA, a 19.4% strikeout rate and a 13.4% walk rate. The Orioles claimed Martin off waivers from the Brewers last June. Hes pitched 32 1/3 innings with a 5.29 ERA in Triple-A Norfolk this year. That includes a strong run from May 30 to the time of his call to the majors, during which he rattled off 12 innings of one-run ball with an 11-to-4 K/BB ratio. Overall, Martin has set down 23% of his opponents on strikes against a 10.4% walk rate. In parts of five Triple-A seasons, Martin has a 5.18 ERA, 23.1% strikeout rate and 11.8% walk rate in a total of 217 1/3 innings. Eddie Murray Jersey
