The Baltimore Orioles traded right-handed reliever Bryan Baker to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday in exchange for the 37th pick in the upcoming 2025 MLB Draft. The move gives the Orioles four of the first 37 and seven of the top 93 selections in the draft.

Gunnar Henderson’s pinch-hit home run in eighth inning lifted the Orioles to a comeback win hours after a trade shook up the clubhouse.

Bryan Baker turned to watch the flight of another baseball heading for the center field fence. He stood with his hand on his hip, certain of the outcome. Pete Alonso knew it, too, carrying his bat most of the way to first base before flipping it in celebration.

The usually reliable Baker allowed four runs without getting an out and the O’s couldn’t muster any offense in the 9th or 10th as New York scored a come-from-behind win.

It took only four batters for the Orioles’ promising night to spiral into a tailspin, ending in a 7-6 loss to the Mets in 10 innings.
