Matt Bowman: Released by O's
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Matt Bowman has been active in MLB-affiliated news through 2025–2026, with moves including being released by the Orioles in 2025 and later billing updates in 2026 involving minor-league contracts and opt-out decisions with other organizations .
- In 2025 he was outrighted/removed from the Orioles’ 40-man roster and became a free agent, signaling continued attempts to latch on with a new big-league opportunity .
- By mid-2026, multiple outlets noted Bowman signing a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays, and subsequently exercising an opt-out from a prior minor-league arrangement with the Twins before becoming a free agent again; this trajectory suggests he remained in the market as a veteran relief-depth option .
