Closer Ryan Helsley, who the Los Angeles Dodgers showed interest in at the trade deadline in 2025, signed a two-year contract with the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Helsley, 31, split time with the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets last season, moving to Queens at the deadline. He had a strong start to the season, posting a 3.00 ERA through 36 appearances with the Cardinals, but couldn’t maintain his form with the Mets.
