The Tampa Bay Rays are acquiring RHP Bryan Baker from the Baltimore Orioles per a report from Robert Murray. Thus far in 2025, Baker has a 3.52 ERA | 3.95 FIP with a 32.5 K% & 6.0 BB% over 38 1⁄3 IP.
Baker, 30, had a tremendous, break out season for Baltimore in 2022; however, his results have been mixed since then and he has split the last two seasons between Triple-A and the MLB.
His statcast page tells the story well. His offspeed stuff give him one of the best K-rates in the game, but his fastball is getting barreled at a 40% clip.
