The Baltimore Orioles have agreed to a two-year, $28 million contract with free agent closer Ryan Helsley, sources confirmed. The deal includes an opt-out after the first season and is pending a physical. Helsley is expected to fill the closer role while Félix Bautista recovers from shoulder surgery.
Outfielder Taylor Ward was traded from the Los Angeles Angels to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for right-hander Grayson Rodriguez. The 31-year-old expressed surprise at the deal but excitement about joining Baltimore's lineup. The move aims to bolster the Orioles' outfield after their 75-87 season in 2025.
