Norris, 29, was 15-8 with a 3.65 ERA (165.1IP, 67ER) in 28 starts for the Orioles in 2014. In 158 career games (155 starts), Norris is 53-57 with a 4.23 ERA (905.2IP, 426ER).
The Orioles now have four arbitration eligible players: left-hander Zach Britton, outfielder Alejandro De Aza, right-hander Miguel Gonzalez and outfielder Steve Pearce.
