Maton filed for free agency Saturday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. Maton spent most of the 2024 campaign at the Triple-A level, posting a .258/.363/.471 slash line with 16 home runs, 56 RBI, 44 runs and one stolen base over 344 plate appearances. He got into five major-league games with the Orioles and went 0-for-5 with a pair of strikeouts. Maton doesn't offer much in the way of power or speed, but he provides versatility, as he can play multiple positions in both the infield and outfield.
