Orioles Trade for Baz, Sign Alonso, and Eye Romero
The Baltimore Orioles are making a bold move this offseason, acquiring right-handed starter Shane Baz from the Tampa Bay Rays and signing outfielder Taylor Ward, first baseman Pete Alonso, and closer Ryan Helsley.

San Diego Padres GOT SWEPT by Shane Baz & the Tampa Bay Rays | Locked On Rays
The Rays are back to .500 after a thrilling sweep, riding a five-game win streak with strong starts from Shane Baz, Ryan Pepiot, and Zack Littell.
