Barrero declined an outright assignment from the Orioles and elected free agency Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Barrero went 1-for-6 at the dish in a cup of coffee with Baltimore this season and slashed .202/.305/.400 with 23 homers and 13 steals at Triple-A Norfolk. The 28-year-old is now free to latch on with a new organization.

The Orioles selected Barrero's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
Barrero has spent the entire season up to this point at Triple-A, slashing .201/.303/.397 with 23 homers, 57 RBI, 63 runs scored and 12 steals across 502 plate appearances. He'll now join the big-league roster as the replacement for Jackson Holliday (wrist) and could pick up a few starts down the stretch against left-handed pitchers.

The Orioles reassigned Barrero to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Barrero appeared in 22 games at the big-league level with St. Louis in 2025, but he finished last season in the Orioles organization as a member of the Norfolk roster and will return to the affiliate to begin the 2026 campaign. The 27-year-old came up short in his bid for a utility spot on the Orioles' Opening Day roster after slashing just .105/.150/.289 over 40 plate appearances during the Grapefruit League.

Barrero agreed Thursday to a new minor-league contract with the Orioles, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Barrero split time in 2025 between the Cardinals and Orioles organizations and appeared in 22 games at the big-league level, all of which came with St. Louis. After being dropped from the Cardinals' 40-man roster in late June, Barrero elected free agency and caught on with the Orioles on a minor-league pact. He proceeded to spend the rest of the season at Triple-A Norfolk, slashing .190/.261/.344 with eight home runs and nine stolen bases across 218 plate appearances. While his new minor-league deal could include an invitation to major-league spring training, the 27-year-old utility man should be viewed as a long shot to win an Opening Day bench role with Baltimore.

Barrero elected free agency last week after being removed from the Cardinals' 40-man roster and he has quickly found a new home. The 27-year-old played sparingly in St. Louis, putting up a .470 OPS in 31 plate appearances. Barrero will give the Orioles some experienced utility depth at Triple-A Norfolk.
