What happened: Weston Wilson elected free agency on Friday after clearing waivers and being outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk. The 31-year-old was designated for assignment by the Baltimore Orioles last week to create a roster spot for catcher Sam Huff.

Why it matters: Wilson provided versatility across the diamond but struggled to find consistent production, slashing .231/.348/.333 over 19 games this season. His departure allows Baltimore to prioritize catching depth as the team looks to stabilize its roster while sitting at 34-37 in the AL East.

What to watch: Wilson will now explore the open market, seeking a major league opportunity or a minor league deal with an organization in need of right-handed bench depth.
