The Baltimore Orioles have traded right-hander Bryan Baker to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for the Rays' competitive-balance pick, No. 37 in Sunday's MLB Draft.
Fantasy Impact
With the trade, the O's beef up their draft capital while the Rays get Baker for an additional three years of club control after this season. The reliever owns a 3.52 ERA with two saves in 42 appearances already this season with Baltimore.
Bryan Baker allowed one hit and struck out two batters in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Thursday's win over the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact

Baker has been impressive this year and looks to be next in line for any save opportunities when Bautista isn't available.
Bryan Baker struck out two batters in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday’s win over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Baker capitalized on a rare save opportunity Sunday, striking out two en route to his first save of the season. He’s unlikely to see consistent save chances and remains best left on the waiver wire for now. Following Sunday’s win, Baker owns a 2.61 ERA and 0.86 WHIP across 28 appearances this season.
Bryan Baker surrendered three earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two in just two-thirds of an inning Tuesday against St. Louis.
Fantasy Impact
After entering a tight game, Baker unraveled quickly, seeing his ERA jump despite entering with a strong 3.00 mark on the year. He’s been an otherwise dependable arm, but the five home runs across just 24 innings now stand out. Baker can still be trusted in holds leagues due to his 30 Ks, but volatility like this keeps him more matchup-dependent than locked-in.
