When the Orioles hand the ball to Kyle Bradish on Sunday, he’s going to start for the first time while in a long-term commitment with the club.

The Orioles announced today that they’ve signed Bradish to a five-year extension that keeps him under team control through 2031. He was eligible for free agency after the 2028 season.

The deal pays $90 million, according to a source.

Bradish, 29, joins catcher Samuel Basallo and starter Shane Baz as recipients of contract extensions since David Rubenstein became control owner.

Basallo agreed to an eight-year, $67 million contract on Aug. 22 that can max out at $88.5 million – the largest given to a pre-arbitration catcher – after only five days in the majors. Baz received a five-year, $68 million contract in March before throwing his first pitch with the Orioles, who acquired him in a trade with the Rays.

Baz’s deal was the largest given to an Orioles pitcher until today.

The most lucrative contracts in team history belong to Chris Davis at $216 million and Pete Alonso at $155 million. Bradish is next.

Bradish has much deeper ties to the Orioles, who got him and three other pitching prospects from the Angels on Dec. 4, 2019 in the Dylan Bundy trade. He debuted in 2022 and has made 86 starts, compiling a 3.50 ERA in 465 innings and finishing fourth in American League Cy Young voting in 2023.

“Keeping players of Kyle’s caliber in an Orioles uniform is an important part of our long-term vision,” Rubenstein said in a statement. “We are grateful to Kyle for his commitment to our organization and to Baltimore. Thanks to Mike Elias and the entire baseball operations department for their dedication throughout this process.”

Bradish’s 2.83 ERA in 30 starts in 2023 was the lowest by an Oriole since Mike Mussina’s 2.54 ERA in 1992.

“We have believed strongly in Kyle since he first joined the organization as a minor leaguer in 2019,” Elias said in the statement. “He has worked hard, with the support of our entire development team, to become one of the best starting pitchers in the league. He’s an exemplary member of our team and our community, and we are thrilled that he and his family are here to stay.

“This extension reflects the continued dedication of our ownership group, led by David Rubenstein, to build and sustain a team that our fans and Baltimore can be proud of.”

Bradish has posted a 3.61 ERA in 19 starts this season and a 2.12 ERA in his last five outings in his first full season since ’23. He underwent ligament-reconstructive surgery on his right elbow after eight starts in 2024 and made six appearances after returning in 2025.

The most recent start showed the level of dominance that Bradish can reach again, when he tossed six no-hit innings against the Royals on July 11. He was charged with one run and two hits in 6 2/3.

ESPN was first to report the money attached to the extension.
