The Baltimore Orioles have found a new closer in free agency.
The Orioles and two-time All-Star reliever Ryan Helsley agreed to a two-year, $28-million contract with an opt-out clause after the first season, a source told Katie Woo of The Athletic.
Helsley is projected to take over as the club's closer with Félix Bautista expected to miss almost the entire 2026 season after undergoing shoulder surgery in August.
