The Baltimore Orioles have cut ties with first baseman Ryan Mountcastle, their former first-round draft pick, after seven seasons with the organization. Mountcastle, selected 36th overall in the 2015 MLB Draft, becomes a free agent following the move.
The 29-year-old made his major league debut in 2020 and spent parts of six seasons with Baltimore. The decision ends Mountcastle's tenure with the only MLB organization he has known professionally.
