The Baltimore Orioles may have their work cut out for them with their new bullpen toy.

After a ghastly sojourn in Queens with the New York Mets, former St. Louis Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley is headed to Baltimore on a two-year, $28 million contract that includes an opt-out clause after 2026. According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, Helsley will remain in his customary closer's role after chatter emerged that teams were looking at acquiring Helsley to potentially serve as a starter next season.
