It looks like Chris Tillman won't be changing uniforms after all.
The Baltimore Orioles and the right-handed starting pitcher have agreed to a one-year, $3-million deal that can be worth up to $10 million with performance bonuses, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports.
On Sunday, Tillman was reportedly deciding between re-signing with the Orioles and two other teams, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.
The 29-year-old Tillman has spent all nine of his major-league seasons with the Orioles, but struggled mightily in 2017. He posted a 1-7 record with a 7.84 ERA, and was demoted to the bullpen.
Tillman will likely slide in behind Dylan Bundy, Kevin Gausman, and the newly signed Andrew Cashner at the back end of the rotation.
