The Orioles signed Frazier to a one-year, $8 million contract Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Frazier's poor contract year with the Mariners, in which he posted a career-worst .612 OPS in 156 games, results in a modest free-agent deal. The 31-year-old figures to get regular playing time in Baltimore and plenty of opportunities to return to his 2021 form. In that season he slashed .305/.368/.411 with the Pirates and Padres. Frazier also provides a bit of value on the bases, as he's stolen 21 bases over the last two seasons.

Rotowire
Frazier isn't starting Friday's game against Oakland, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Mariners' Adam Frazier: Drives in three Thursday
Rotowire
Frazier went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a two-run double in a win over the Athletics on Thursday.
Frazier's clutch double in the sixth inning plated Jarred Kelenic and Dylan Moore to snap a 5-5 tie, and his ninth-inning single drove home Moore with the final run of the game. The veteran's productive showing out of the No. 9 spot in the order was an especially welcome sight, considering he'd been mired in a 2-for-22 slump over the previous eight games despite striking out at just an 8.7 percent clip in that span.

Mariners' Adam Frazier: Stuffs box score in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Frazier went 2-for-3 with a two-run triple, a walk, a stolen base and two runs in a win over Atlanta on Sunday.
The stellar performance at the plate was a prototypical one in past seasons for Frazier, whose current .242/.309/.317 slash line still leaves plenty to be desired. However, the veteran's prolific day Sunday pushed his triple tally on the season to four, and he's now just one steal away from tying the career-high 10 he recorded in 2021 while splitting time between the Pirates and Padres.

Rotowire
Frazier is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Mariners' Adam Frazier: Sitting out Wednesday
Rotowire
Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
Though a right-hander (Anibal Sanchez) is taking the hill, the lefty-hitting Frazier will get a breather for the day game after a night game. Manager Scott Servais initially planned on resting Frazier on Sunday, but he went on to start his sixth straight game that day -- and a seventh straight in Tuesday's series opener -- due to Sam Haggerty's (shoulder) ongoing absence. Haggerty remains out of the lineup Wednesday, so Dylan Moore will step in for Frazier at the keystone.
