Orioles Sign Kyle Gibson

By Anthony Franco | March 21, 2025 at 11:59pm CDT

The Orioles announced on Friday that they’ve reunited with Kyle Gibson on a one-year deal. The Rowley Sports Management client is reportedly guaranteed $5.25MM and can earn another $1.525MM in performance bonuses — including $150K apiece at 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 starts. Baltimore placed Kyle Bradish, who underwent elbow surgery last June, on the 60-day injured list to open a roster spot.

Gibson was the top remaining free agent starting pitcher. The veteran righty has been a durable innings source at the back of various rotations. That included a 2023 season spent in Baltimore. Gibson made 33 starts and tossed 192 innings for the O’s two seasons ago. He posted a 4.73 earned run average while recording 157 strikeouts.

The Missouri product signed a $13MM free agent deal with the Cardinals during the 2023-24 offseason. He continued to work as a steady if unexciting back-end option. Gibson took 30 turns through the rotation and pitched to a 4.24 ERA over 169 2/3 innings. His 20.9% strikeout rate and 44.8% ground-ball percentage were near league average. St. Louis declined a $12MM club option in favor of a $1MM buyout at year’s end.

Gibson has nine MLB seasons with at least 29 starts and more than 150 frames. He hasn’t spent any time on the injured list within the last three seasons. His 711 1/3 innings over the past four years ranks eighth among major league pitchers. Once he’s ready for major league work, he should slot into the fifth spot in Brandon Hyde’s rotation.

That won’t be from Opening Day. While Gibson has been throwing side sessions, that’s not a direct substitute for Spring Training. Hyde told Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com that Gibson will need the equivalent of a spring ramp-up. It’s not clear if he’ll consent to an optional assignment to begin the season in the minors or start the year on the injured list, but he won’t be on the active roster on Thursday.

Gibson is the third older starting pitcher whom the Orioles have added on a one-year deal. They signed Charlie Morton to a $15MM contract and brought in NPB veteran Tomoyuki Sugano at $13MM. All three project more as back-end arms at this stage of their careers.

Grayson Rodriguez received a cortisone shot to treat elbow inflammation a couple weeks ago. He’ll begin the season on the injured list. Zach Eflin leads a starting five that also includes Morton, Sugano and Dean Kremer. Swingman Albert Suárez and young lefty Cade Povich are battling to round out the rotation. Suárez entered camp as the sixth starter, but Povich has outperformed him this spring. They’ll need one of those pitchers to hold a rotation spot until Gibson is ready for regular season work.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic first reported the $5.25MM base salary and the $1.525MM in incentives. Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner reported the start breakdown. Image courtesy of Jerome Miron, USA Today Sports.

      He throws strikes. He’s a ground ball pitcher. With the Orioles Defense, Gibson fits the Orioles team like a Glove!!! No pun intended.

        You know that the Os had him before the Cards, right? Os fans know exactly who he is.

        He’s returning to the Orioles, and knows a lot of the young guys. A lot of them regard him as a mentor. And have stayed in contact with him last year.

        There’s no way Carrasco continues to pitch well into the regular season. He’s gotten absolutely hammered the last two and a half seasons. He’s 38 years old. This is just a mirage of spring training.

          I disagree. The fact that Matt Blake was his pitching coach in Cleveland is not why Carrasco was successful in Cleveland. It’s because he was young and still had good stuff. He’s old and has very little left. Unless Matt Blake has a magic wand he’s not going to make any difference. The guy just doesn’t have it anymore.

          CLE fans universally love Carrasco, and he manned up last year in the rotation far longer than any of us expected, but despite that we didn’t want to see him return. He’s pitching on fumes at best.

      Povich will probably get plenty of starts. You can count on someone else getting hurt for at least a little while. Gibson gives them depth with Suarez probably better out of the bullpen eventually when Gibson is up to speed.

        I love these depth chart people that come on before seasons start and believe a team will use 5 starters, and the closer and set-up guy will be in those positions all season long (the same for position players).

        At LEAST 10 pitchers wearing an Oriole uni will start games this season. Some will start the year in their minor league system and some will be acquired during the season.

        Cobb much more upside. Higher k rate. Better for playoffs.

        I like all the 5 million guys though. Gibson Quintana Heaney. Drop off to Perez maybe but not bad.

        None can do what Cobb can potentially do though. Why he cost 15.

        The better question is why not Kikuchi Montas who can do what Cobb can do but younger. Or Verlander Scherzer for more star power.

        Gibson probably wasn’t and certainly shouldn’t have expected Cobb $. Probably couldn’t even get 5 until spring training injuries. You could get a lefty for 5 so why take Gibson over a lefty.

      It doesn’t seem to be the elbow ligament since the pain he experienced was located in a different spot than where guys who ultimately need TJS complain of pain prior to surgery.

      I think it might be more that they’ve lost faith in Albert Suarez’s ability to start, and after his spring, I don’t really blame them.

      I mean, I dont think there is anyone here who is under the impression that Kyle Gibson is this real good pitcher. Kyle Gibson is Old and a #5 starter. But he provides wholesale innings. That’s just what Gibson does. I think the reaction you are seeing in the comment section is a result of a cheap price tag in a market where average pitchers can make upwards of 15m per season.

    I want a new GM. This is like a knife to the gut. Sure Grayson may be out a while but this. No interest in extending Burnes or signing Snell or Fried. Its a mess of a team that maybe cant get a lead on another team in 5 playoff games. Even if they had a lead for an inning or two 5 losses no wins. Its not working. Yes some talented young players they probably wont extend but this combo of talent manager and front office is missing the mark. So what do you do? Let the guy who was the ace walk, sign nobody of importance and play ball. Its as if there is some bonus that will be paid for winning 86 to 91 games and not winning a playoff series. Great job. On target. Did the Os need a #7 starter? They already have Morton and Sugano both of which feel like 4 or 5s in a best case scenario. Dean is a 4 or 5. That is 4 guys. I like Eflin as a 3 but he is probably our 1. I really like Cade and his potential and would be fine with him getting some reps at the back of the rotation but he probably loses his spot to the rotation of adequacy.

      They didn’t “let the guy who was the ace walk.”

      Burnes specifically wanted to play in Arizona where his wife and infant twins live and went to the Diamondbacks and said “I want to play for you, please sign me.”

      Baltimore doesn’t get 200m pitchers. Certainly not when they are losing the Nationals tv $.

      Letting Burnes go and getting draft pick was A+ move. Contract has opt out yuck. Declining k’s really yuck.

      He would gladly signed with Baltimore for more $. And if Toronto gave him more $ he would love Canada just as much as Arizona.

      Declining k’s and unrealistic salary demands kept the smart teams away. Found a sucker in Arizona. Yankees Dodgers passed on him for someone else. Baltimore should be thankful they passed on him as well.

      Elias did everything he could to keep Burnes – even gave him extended paternity during the year last year when kid was born.

      Burnes has a wife and she apparently likes Arizona and they both want him to be around the kids as much as possible.

      It’s hard to get an ace, and when they’re being paid over $200M no matter what,it’s hard to keep an ace whose family doesn’t like Baltimore.

      If O’s had to make a deadline move for pitching, they’d be trading for a guy like Gibson (unless they want to seriously overpay for a rental like Cease). So, this is making that move now, cheaper, rather than in July AND it keeps Gibson away from the Yankees.

      Is it an earth shattering move, no. Is it a solid, well thought out, incrementally better while weakening my opponent move, yes. Make enough of the latter and eventually you’ll win.

        He did everything he could except make him an offer before FA that appealed to him and made him want to remain with the team. I am pretty confident the door was open there for the right offer. Sure AZ was very appealing and was a nice fit but I am sure other teams had a shot. The point is not we had to sign Burnes but that we had to sign or acquire somebody and we didn’t. Which is the new Oriole way, rarely adding impact players for any length of time.

        Where the Os are now, any news cycle about adding a player needs to be something like Os trade for Alcantara or Os trade for Luis Castillo. I wont say Cease because the ask is too high. But somebody that improves the team dramatically. Kyle isn’t that. At all. No contending team should be excited about adding him at the deadline. Alcantara is expensive and on a team expected to win less than 70 that wants a low payroll. He is so primed to be moved. There was buzz Seattle was willing to move Luis Castillo because they have 4 great SPs and a serviceable 5. They desperately need hitting. Os have more young talented controllable hitting (the best kind) than they can play. But they cant find a way to turn that in to talented SPs. They wont draft pitchers in the first 3 rounds for like 5 years. Now they are overloaded with hitting and have NO pitching and are just content to roll with that.

        I just see its as a very poorly run team from a personnel standpoint. Sure they draft very well. But where does it get them to have 7 talented MIs and 5 talented OFs when the pitching is bad. When they have chips they use them to get one year rentals and a guy like Trevor Rogers who was a train wreck of a move. Sign somebody draft somebody trade for somebody but get better SPs on the team. Dont just keep on keepin’ on thinking the approach is brilliant and works. Its not and it doesn’t. They should draft 7 SPs in the first 7 rounds of this year’s draft to compensate for the weakness and lack of high round SP drafting. But they probably just press on and take OFs or MIs from the SEC early.

    This is a fine signing in a vacuum but really adds nothing to an Orioles team chock full of 4 starters. Moves the needle absolutely none in the AL. The top AL teams outside Cleveland all have 2-3 starters better than our best. Bad sign for Grayson. It’s a good move given the situation but being in this situation is the real concern.

      It’s depth. If Fried Crochet go down they would kill for a Gibson. Solid good #5.

    Is the entire pitching staff just gonna be a bunch of 3, 4, 5 of the rotation? Lol. There is no ace or stud on that rotation and the only one with potential keeps getting injured

    The Cardinals let this slip for a $1MM buyout, blind to its compounding value in a contender’s ecosystem. It’s not sexy, but it’s ruthlessly logical.

      I’m inclined to agree, harristan. They’re not as impressive on paper as Boston. We shall see. Especially with no Rodriguez or Henderson

    Not surprised. I had a feeling they’d bring him back but I’m not sure why they didn’t sign him sooner so he could actually be ready for opening day. But a lot of what they do in just don’t understand so this is par for the course.

    Gibson costs 5 million. Morton costs 15. We shall see who is worth more, but hopefully, they both do well. I wonder why Elias is so afraid of getting a top pitcher, preferring the Trevor Rogers types.

    Their prospects are not overrated. The problem is that they hold them down in the minors too long or trade them for nothing (Norby for Rogers.)

    I think this might be a prelude to Povich making the team, but the Os need some insurance just in case Povich has some struggle and needs more time at AAA. I’m not 100%certain that Suarez can duplicate his 2024 too

    Gibby getting rid of a low quality cutter would be a smart choice.

    Decent+ signing. A typical #5 at an acceptable price.

    You’re forgetting the bullpen, which is well above average. All these guys have to do is get them to the 5th or 6th inning. This (unfortunately) isn’t 70’s baseball anymore.

    He was pretty solid and dependable for the Cards last year – at least a decent #4. Should be an excellent signing if he can produce anything similar to 2024.

    Can’t hurt for the price. Cheapskate Cardinals owner refuses to spend any money to improve the team.

    So essentially 30M spent on Morton, Sugano, Gibson and Trevor Rodgers who’s rotting away somewhere as well. We’ll see if the quantity over quality approach works. Would have been best served trading for and signing a stud pitcher and light’s out reliever.

    When you throw a lifeline out to a 37-year-old with a career 4.52 ERA, that’s when you know your postseason chances are in trouble. I see the Birds finishing 4th in the NL East in ’25. The Jays, RedSox and Yanks just look stronger overall in the pitching dept. Morton is 41, Sugano is 35, and here comes Gibson to try to help rescue a starting staff plagued by injury and mediocre results.
