www.theracingbiz.comHere’s the latest on Sam Huff.
-
Movement in 2026: Huff signed a one-year contract with the Baltimore Orioles and was added to Baltimore’s 40-man roster after the season began, with his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk on April 15, 2026. This makes him a catcher depth option and potential second/third catcher for the Orioles [sources indicate spring/early-season roster moves and the contract status in 2026].
-
2025 context (for background): Huff spent time with the San Francisco Giants organization, where he was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento after being designated for assignment, remaining within the Giants system as organizational depth at catcher [2025 Giants-related reports].
-
2024–early 2025 notes: He had limited big-league action, with a .208/.259/.340 line across 58 plate appearances in 20 games with the Giants, and he previously appeared in the Rangers system earlier in his career [Giants/NBCSports coverage; MLB reporting outlets].
If you’d like, I can pull the most current game logs, his 2026 stats with Norfolk and Baltimore, and a quick fantasy outlook based on his defensive profile and left/right splits. I can also summarize recent team news or provide a short visual trend (e.g., recent batting line). Would you like that?
