Bemboom was added to the 40-man roster in Baltimore earlier this month and is now officially locked into the Orioles' plans for the 2023 season. 

The thirty-two-year-old will compete for the backup catcher job behind Adley Rutschman. Bemboom's contract is a split one that carries differing salaries whether Bemboom is part of the major league roster or the minor league one. 

Over his four-year career, Bemboom has a slash line of .160/.231/.265, with five home runs, 12 RBIs and 17 runs scored over 76 games. He's spent time with the Tampa Bay Rays, Los Angeles Angels and the Orioles.
