Right-hander Lou Trivino agrees to 1-year contract with Orioles after release by Phillies
NEW YORK (AP) — Right-handed reliever Lou Trivino agreed to a one-year contract with the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, three days after he was released from a minor league deal by the Philadelphia Phillies. The 34-year-old Trivino was 3-0 with a 2. 77 ERA in 10 relief outings for the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs.
"Heavy sinker. Turbo sinker," Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said. "I just remember him just attacking hitters no matter what the circumstance was.
Obviously he’s had an arm injury since then. I wouldn’t say back to his form, but he’s healthy and he’s back pitching. He’s throwing the ball extremely well.
The (velocity) is there. ” Baltimore optioned right-hander Trey Gibson to Triple-A Norfolk, a day after he started against the New York Yankees in his major league debut. The team also said right-hander Albert Suárez cleared outright waivers and accepted an assignment to the Tides.
Trivino is 24-27 with a 3. 87 ERA in 229 relief appearances and three starts over six seasons with Oakland (2018-22), the Yankees (2022), and San Francisco, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Mets (2025). His career was interrupted by Tommy John surgery in May 2023.
