BREAKING: Orioles Sign Ryan Helsley to Two-Year, $28 Million Deal | Could Edwin Diaz Sign NEXT?

Baltimore Orioles lock down the bullpen with Ryan Helsley’s $28 million deal, sending shockwaves through MLB’s closer market. Can the New York Mets keep pace and secure Edwin Diaz, or will rising bids from rivals like the Dodgers and Blue Jays force their hand? The fast-moving free agent landscape puts the Mets under pressure—will they stretch to a five-year contract or risk losing a key asset? Host Ryan Finkelstein analyzes Helsley’s contract details, and the evolving relief pitcher market. Discussion spotlights prominent closers—Devin Williams, Robert Suarez, and Pete Fairbanks—and examines which teams are still hunting for elite bullpen arms. With supply dwindling and demand high, every move counts. The episode explores contract history, creative deal options, and whether the Mets should act now or risk getting left behind.
