Baltimore Orioles acquire Daz Cameron from the Oakland Athletics

Eight players elect free agency

The Orioles have announced the acquisition of outfielder Daz Cameron from the Athletics in exchange for cash considerations. Cameron, 27, hit .200/.258/.329 with five doubles, one triple, five home runs, 22 runs scored, 15 RBIs, 13 walks, one hit-by-pitch, and five stolen bases in 66 games with the A’s last season. He started the season with Triple-A Las Vegas, where he batted .307/.424/.577 with 15 doubles, two triples, six homers, 32 runs, 27 RBIs, 27 walks, one hit-by-pitch, and eight stolen bases in 41 games before being called up on May 23. In his Athletics debut against Colorado, Cameron hit a game-tying solo home run to help the A’s secure a 10-9 victory in 11 innings. He earned the Pacific Coast League Player of the Week honors for April 29-May 5 with Las Vegas.  

Cameron was a non-roster invitee to Spring Training with Baltimore in 2023 after being claimed off waivers from the Detroit Tigers on November 9, 2022. He spent the entire 2023 season with Triple-A Norfolk, contributing to their Triple-A National Championship and International League Championship wins. Initially selected by the Houston Astros in the Competitive Balance Round A (No. 37 overall) of the 2015 First-Year Player Draft, Cameron was later traded to the Tigers as part of a deal involving Justin Verlander on August 31, 2017. He is the son of 2001 American League All-Star and three-time Gold Glove Award winner Mike Cameron.  

Additionally, six eligible XX(B) players have elected free agency: right-handed pitchers Corbin Burnes and Brooks Kriske, left-handed pitcher John Means, catcher James McCann, and outfielders Anthony Santander and Austin Slater. Outfielder Daniel Johnson and right-handed pitcher Burch Smith have also elected free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles’ 40-man roster currently has 33 players.
