Meanwhile, they declined a five-point-five-million-dollar option for infielder and outfielder Jorge Mateo, making him a free agent. Kittredge, a thirty-five-year-old right-hander, had a solid season with the Orioles and Chicago Cubs, while Mateo struggled at the plate due to injury. These moves highlight the Orioles strategic planning for the next season.
