Mike Baumann: Becomes free agent
Baumann was released by the Marlins on Monday and later signed with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball Organization, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Baumann was the definition of a journeyman in 2024, making stops with the Orioles, Angels, Marlins, Mariners and Giants. He didn't pitch particularly well, posting a 5.55 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with a 58:28 K:BB across 58.1 frames, so he'll look for a better outcome overseas in 2025.

Marlins' Mike Baumann: Back from paternity leave
The Marlins activated Baumann from the paternity list Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Baumann missed the series against the Twins earlier this week while welcoming a new addition to the family, but he will be back in the bullpen for the Marlins' final games of the season in Toronto. He has allowed 10 runs with a 17:4 K:BB over 12.1 innings during his time with Miami.

Marlins' Mike Baumann: Placed on paternity leave
The Marlins placed Baumann on the paternity list Tuesday.
Baumann will likely miss the three-game series with the Twins before rejoining the team this weekend in Toronto. He has allowed 10 runs but boasts a 17:4 K:BB over 12.1 innings since being claimed off waivers by the Marlins last month.

Marlins' Mike Baumann: Claimed by Miami
The Marlins claimed Baumann off waivers from the Angels on Sunday.
The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Angels on Friday and will now join his fifth MLB club of the season. Bauman posted a 3.76 ERA in 60 appearances for the Orioles last season, but he has a 5.24 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 40:21 K:BB across 44.2 frames in 2024. The right-hander has no minor-league options remaining, so he'll need to be added to the Marlins' 26-man active roster.

Angels' Mike Baumann: Headed to waivers
The Angels designated Baumann for assignment Friday.
The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Giants on July 27 but was shipped to the Halos shortly after, only to get DFA'ed again. Baumann appeared in 10 games (9.1 innings) with Los Angeles, posting a 6.75 ERA and a 7:4 K:BB. Assuming he clears waivers, Baumann is expected to remain in the Angels' organization.

Angels' Mike Baumann: Traded to Halos
The Angels acquired Baumann from the Giants on Tuesday in exchange for cash, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
San Francisco designated Baumann for assignment Saturday, but he'll regain a 40-man roster spot with a new organization. He's out of minor-league options and thus will need to be added to the Angels' 26-man active roster. The right-hander reliever holds a 4.84 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 35.1 innings across 36 appearances with the Giants, Mariners and Orioles.

Giants' Mike Baumann: DFA'd by Giants
The Giants designated Baumann for assignment Saturday.
Baumann was acquired by San Francisco via trade Sunday after being designated for assignment by the Mariners on July 19. He surrendered two runs in two-thirds of an inning for the Giants. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, Baumann should be expected to remain in the Giants organization. Spencer Bivens was called up in a corresponding move.

Giants' Mike Baumann: Traded to San Francisco
The Giants acquired Baumann from the Mariners on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Baumann will move on to his third organization of the season after beginning the campaign in Baltimore before being dealt to Seattle in May. Over his 35 appearances out of the bullpen with the Orioles and Mariners this season, Baumann has produced a 4.41 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with 32 strikeouts over 34.2 innings. Baumann doesn't have any minor-league options remaining and will need to be added to the Giants' 26-man active roster.

Mariners' Mike Baumann: DFA'd by Seattle
The Mariners designated Baumann for assignment Friday.
The move corresponds with Seattle reinstating left-hander Gabe Speier (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list. Baumann was acquired by the Mariners from the Orioles on May 22 after being initially DFA'd by Baltimore. Across his 18 outings with Seattle, Baumann has posted a 5.51 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 16.1 innings. He could garner interest from a team looking to add right-handed depth to its bullpen.

Mariners' Mike Baumann: Nabs win after blown save
Baumann (3-0) allowed two runs on two hits in one inning Sunday. He struck out three and earned a win after blowing a save chance against Kansas City.
Baumann coughed up a game-tying, two-run shot to MJ Melendez with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. Fortunately for Baumann, the Mariners tallied three runs in the 10th inning to give him the win. Prior to Sunday's outing, he'd pitched 5.2 innings without allowing an earned run since joining Seattle. He now owns a 3.24 ERA with a 24:12 K:BB through 25 total innings this season. Andres Munoz returned from a back injury Sunday and should see most of the ninth-inning work moving forward, assuming he's healthy.

Mariners' Mike Baumann: First win as Mariner
Baumann (2-0) got the win in an extra-inning victory over the Astros on Wednesday, firing a perfect 10th inning.
Just traded to the Mariners from the Orioles on May 22, Baumann was making his second appearance in a Seattle uniform Wednesday and was called on in the 10th after closer Andres Munoz had already worked the ninth. Baumann nearly got through the inning on a minimum number of pitches, locating all five pitches for strikes while retiring Chas McCormick, Victor Caratini and Jose Altuve. The veteran right-hander then became the pitcher of record when J.P. Crawford hit a walk-off sacrifice fly in the home half of the frame, giving Baumann his first win since April 10 in what was his fifth straight scoreless appearance.

Mariners' Mike Baumann: Sent to Seattle
The Orioles traded Baumann and catcher Michael Perez to the Mariners on Wednesday in exchange for catcher Blake Hunt.
The 28-year-old righty was squeezed off the Orioles' 40-man roster Saturday to make room for Grayson Rodriguez's return from the injured list, and Baumann will now find a new home in the Seattle bullpen. He sports a 3.44 ERA and 1.47 WHIP alongside a 16:9 K:BB through 18.1 frames and should settle in as a middle reliever.

Orioles' Mike Baumann: DFA'd by O's
The Orioles designated Baumann for assignment Saturday.
Baumann doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, so the Orioles had to remove him from their 40-man roster in order to create room on the big-league squad for Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder), who came off the injured list Saturday. Baumann has posted a 3.44 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 18.1 innings this season and could attract interest on the waiver wire from teams in need of bullpen help.

Orioles' Mike Baumann: Snags win Wednesday
Baumann (1-0) earned the win Wednesday over the Red Sox, allowing a hit and striking out three without walking a batter in a scoreless inning.
Baumann benefited from the Orioles' rally in the seventh inning after he pitched the sixth. This was just his second scoreless outing of the campaign, as he's had some struggles with control so far. Baumann has allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits with a 6:4 K:BB over four innings through five appearances, and he has one blown save on his ledger. The right-hander is likely to remain in a low-leverage role.

Orioles' Mike Baumann: Likely for low-leverage role
Baumann has struck out two without allowing a baserunner over two innings in Grapefruit League play.
Baumann made the full-time move to the bullpen last season. Ironically, that led to him collecting 10 wins, his most in a single season at any level since he had 13 victories in 2018 between Single-A and High-A. Last season's elevated win count was likely an anomaly -- Baumann's most probable to pitch in middle relief, making favorable decisions hard to forecast. He also had six holds, a 3.76 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 61:33 K:BB over 64.2 innings in 2023, numbers that could suggest regression is on the horizon.

Orioles' Mike Baumann: Left off ALDS roster
Baumann isn't listed on Baltimore's roster for their ALDS matchup against the Rangers, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
After putting up a 3.76 ERA and 1.31 WHIP through 64.1 innings, the Orioles optioned Baumann to Triple-A Norfolk on Sept. 22. He'll remain off the big-league roster as the O's begin their playoff run but could provide a fresh bullpen arm should they make it past Texas.

Orioles' Mike Baumann: Sent packing to Triple-A
Baumann was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
He'd pitched each of the previous two days, so the righty is being sent out in favor of a fresh relief arm in Tyler Wells. Baumann won't be eligible for recall before the end of the regular season unless he's replacing an injured player.

Orioles' Mike Baumann: Picks up 10th win
Baumann (10-1) allowed a run on one hit over 1.1 innings and earned the win Monday over the Astros.
Baumann gave up a solo home run to Martin Maldonado in the eighth inning, but he ended up in line for the win when Cedric Mullins' three-run blast put the Orioles ahead in the ninth. This was Baumann's second appearance since he was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday -- he pitched a scoreless inning versus the Rays that day. He's now at a 3.82 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 60:32 K:BB through 63.2 innings this season while adding six holds and two blown saves. Yennier Cano has seen most of the save chances since Felix Bautista (elbow) got hurt, but Baumann could mix in for some setup work if he stays on the major-league roster through the end of the regular season.

Orioles' Mike Baumann: Rejoins big-league bullpen
Baumann was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
Baumann was optioned in late August but had spent most of the first four months in the majors prior to that point. His 3.82 ERA in 61.1 innings of relief was entirely respectable, but his combination of a league-average 22.8 percent strikeout rate and a poor 12.0 percent walk rate means he's likely destined for no more than a low-leverage role. Bryan Baker was optioned in a corresponding move.

Orioles' Mike Baumann: Takes first loss
Baumann (9-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and struck out one over one inning to take the extra-inning loss Tuesday versus the Blue Jays.
Baumann has been a pleasant surprise for the Orioles in a versatile relief role, but he was ambushed Tuesday. Brandon Belt launched a go-ahead two-run home run and Vladimir Guerrero scored on a wild pitch to account for the runs. With a 5.59 ERA over 9.2 innings in August, Baumann has started to regress. He's at a 3.82 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP and 59:31 K:BB over 61.1 innings this season, though his 4.23 FIP suggests more regression could follow down the stretch.
