The Baltimore Orioles traded a long-time reliever, along with a catching prospect, for backstop depth on Wednesday.
The Orioles will also send catcher Michael Perez to the Mariners and get catcher Blake Ford in return.
The former Orioles third-round pick was the hard choice that Baltimore had to make when they activated starter Grayson Rodriguez from the 15-day injured list so he could start. Baumann had a terrific season in 2023, when the Orioles won the American League East. He went 10-1 with a 3.76 ERA in 60 appearances. He struck out 61 and walked 33 in 64.2 innings.
Perez, 31, was in Norfolk. The former Arizona Diamondbacks draft pick was batting .215 with two home runs and 13 RBI in 22 games this season. He’s played 202 Major League games with Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh and the New York Mets.
