Closer Ryan Helsley and the Baltimore Orioles are in agreement on a two-year contract with an opt-out after the first season, pending physical, sources tell ESPN. Helsley, who fielded interest from teams to convert to a starter, will be the ninth-inning option for Baltimore.

Fantasy Impact:

Helsey had a tough 2025 season with the Cardinals and Mets, sporting a 4.50 ERA and 4.14 FIP. While there has been chatter of teams converting Helsely to a starter, the Orioles plan to keep him in the bullpen as a potential closer.
