The Baltimore Orioles are reportedly on the verge of signing relief pitcher Ryan Helsley to a two-year, twenty-eight million dollar contract, with an opt-out clause after one season. This move, pending a physical, indicates the teams ongoing efforts to strengthen their roster for the two thousand twenty-six season. Helsley, known for his strong performance in previous years, saw a decline in his statistics in two thousand twenty-five. The Orioles offseason strategy focuses on adding players to upgrade specific positions without generating significant excitement. The team has already added Andrew Kittredge and Taylor Ward, and the potential signing of Helsley would bring the two thousand twenty-six payroll additions to around thirty-six million dollars. However, the starting rotation remains a key area for improvement, with only one top-tier starting pitcher, Dylan Cease, signing in the free agent market. The Orioles are looking to get Helsley back to his top form and are also speculating about potential international signings to build a competitive roster.
