Orioles sign Cave to 1-year contract; Ellis, Garcia are free agents; Kjerstad, Denoyer AFL stars

The Orioles avoided arbitration with outfielder Jake Cave when they signed him to a one-year contract on Friday. Cave was claimed off waivers from Minnesota on October 11th.

Cave has a .235 average over the last five seasons with Minnesota. In 2022, he hit .213 with five home runs and 20 RBIs.

Right-handed pitcher Chris Ellis, who pitched in just two games before missing the rest of the season after shoulder surgery, and catcher Aramis Garcia, who had been outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk last week, have declined their assignments and filed for free agency. Garcia was claimed off waivers from Cincinnati on October 17th.
