"Estrada, 30, went just 2-for-25 with a pair of singles and nine strikeouts this spring. It wasn't the camp performance he was hoping for after a 2025 season in which he hit only .253/.285/.370 with the Rockies."
"From 2021 to 2023, Estrada slashed .266/.320/.416 with the Giants (105 wRC+). He eventually found himself upgraded from a utility role to the team's starting second baseman."
"Things began to turn the wrong direction in 2024 - a season in which a left wrist sprain limited Estrada to just 96 games. He hit a paltry .217/.247/.343 (68 wRC+) even when he was healthy enough to take the field."
"With Estrada being cut loose, the Orioles' options for the final spot on Craig Albernaz's bench include Jeremiah Jackson, Bryan Ramos and Weston Wilson."
Thairo Estrada has been released by the Baltimore Orioles, becoming a free agent again. He struggled in spring training, going 2-for-25 with nine strikeouts. Injuries plagued his previous season, limiting him to 165 plate appearances. From 2021 to 2023, he had a solid performance with the Giants, but his 2024 season was disappointing due to a wrist sprain. The Orioles are now considering other players for their final bench spot, including Jeremiah Jackson, Bryan Ramos, and Weston Wilson, as Estrada's release opens up opportunities.
