Orioles needed a closer, worth the gamble
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.
Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal has won the American League Cy Young Award for the second consecutive season, becoming the first back-to-back winner in the AL since Pedro Martinez in 1999-2000. Boston's Garrett Crochet finished second and Houston's Hunter Brown was third.
Trevor Rogers: "Just thankful the Orioles have helped me turn my career around. I can go on and on about how much they’ve helped me and what this organization means to me. But at the end of the day, I’m just happy that I can be consistent and continue to help this team win."
