Veteran outfielder Michael Bourn is returning to the Baltimore Orioles.
General manager Dan Duquette announced Monday that Bourn has agreed to a minor league contract and will report to big league spring training.
"His all-around play helped the club earn a 2016 playoff spot," Duquette said. "The O's are glad to have him back."
Bourn would earn $2 million if he makes the Orioles' MLB roster, a source told ESPN's Jim Bowden, confirming a report by FanRag Sports.
Bourn's deal includes a March 25 opt-out if he's not on the big league roster, a source told ESPN's Jerry Crasnick.
Bourn, who first reached the major leagues in 2006, also played for Toronto, Philadelphia and Houston. His best season was 2011 when, while playing for the Braves and Astros, he set career-highs by batting .294 with 34 doubles and 61 stolen bases.
Last year, Bourn hit .264 with five homers, 38 RBIs and 15 stolen bases with the Orioles and Diamondbacks.
