Ryan Helsley Chooses Orioles, Lands $28 Million Deal To Close in Baltimore

Helsley is joining Baltimore on a two-year, $28M deal with an opt-out after year one, pending a physical. The former Cardinals All-Star drew interest as a potential starter. He chose instead to anchor the Orioles’ bullpen. Helsley arrives as their clear ninth-inning option after Mike Elias openly targeted an experienced closer to replace injured Felix Bautista this season.
