The Baltimore Orioles are paying Eloy Jimenez to go away rather than picking up his club option for 2025
The team announced they have officially declined their $16.5M club option for next season, paying Jiménez a $3M buyout and sending him to free agency.
He never reached 2019's record of 122 games played again in his career, owing to repeated and numerous injuries. Going to the injured list six times since 2019, Jiménez has officially spent 255 days on the IL for a variety of injuries from the routine to the severe . The Orioles had two club options available for Jiménez, with a $18.5M option for 2026 becoming a decision next winter if they picked up next season's $16.5M option. Instead, they're paying a $3M buyout to send him to free agency.
