The league is not easing into the Winter Meetings. Everything is already moving. Episode 122 opens with a full preview of the Winter Meetings in Orlando, where front offices, agents, and scouts spend four days accelerating conversations that normally take weeks. We lay out what the schedule looks like, why teams such as Seattle, the Mets, the Dodgers, Milwaukee, Detroit, and Boston are positioned to act, and note that the Rule 5 Draft is on deck as part of the week's business. It's the annual checkpoint that pushes stalled talks forward, and this year the trade market is already hinting at a few possible flashpoints. From there, we break down the Mets' big bullpen addition. New York lands Devin Williams on a 3-year, $51 million deal, giving them a late-inning anchor regardless of what happens with Edwin Díaz. We look at why the Mets felt comfortable betting on the underlying metrics, what Williams still does at an elite level, and how his arrival gives the front office multiple paths through the rest of the winter. It's a stabilizing move before the Meetings even begin. We also get into Baltimore's signing of Ryan Helsley, who might be one of the most interesting rebound bets of the offseason. The Orioles see fixable issues — pitch tipping, sequencing predictability, fastball shape — and believe their pitching infrastructure can get him back to All-Star form. With Félix Bautista recovering, Baltimore needed a legitimate ninth-inning option, and Helsley arrives with both the stuff and the track record to fill that role immediately. Two international signings hit the board as well: Anthony Kay to the White Sox and Cody Ponce to the Blue Jays. Both reinvented themselves overseas, both return with new arsenals, and both deals reflect MLB's growing willingness to invest in pitchers who rebuild their value in the KBO and NPB. Kay gives Chicago a stabilizing piece in a flexible rotation, while Ponce becomes another power arm in what might be the deepest starting group in baseball. We also look at Sonny Gray, who hasn't thrown a pitch for Boston yet but already leaned into the rivalry by taking a swipe at the Yankees. His comments added instant juice to a tense dynamic between the two clubs, and Boston paid real prospect capital to get him. We walk through the rotation fit, the motivation behind the deal, and the early messaging coming out of Fenway. To close things out, we propose one trade that feels realistic heading into the Meetings — a move that fits the market, the needs on both sides, and the competitive timelines without getting speculative. Think of it as the early favorite to become this year's headline move once executives settle into Orlando. Steve and Devin walk through each signing, the market context, the roster ripple effects, and the trade to watch as the Meetings begin. Two major reliever signings. Two international additions. One rivalry story. One trade prediction going into baseball's busiest week.

B.B. Abbott, an executive vice president at Wasserman, joins Darragh McDonald to discuss the process of free agency from the perspective of the agent, including who makes the first call, how much bluffing goes on when talking to front offices, why he doesn't like to leak stories to the media, what industry members think of MLBTR's free-agent predictions and other media speculation, how involved players are during negotiations, the different ways that contract extensions can come together, Zack Wheeler's recovery, how data has changed the draft, and the current state of baseball as a whole. Then Anthony Franco joins to go over the week's news, including Dylan Cease's big contract with the Blue Jays, the Mets seemingly buying low on Devin Williams, the Orioles hoping for a bounce back from Ryan Helsley, and the Red Sox acquiring Sonny Gray.
Ah, the risk and rewards and crazy retail price of Major League Baseball free agency begins with the Baltimore Orioles signing a closer and making noise about "being in on" more pitching. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Ryan Helsley and the price of heroes at the Winter Meetings for a last place team with a lot of prospects in question. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Ryan Helsley as Orioles closer and Winter Meetings pitching needs first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

The Orioles signed Ryan Helsley, one of the most dominant relievers of the 2020s, to a two-year contract. But, Helsley had a notable turn for the worse last year. What was behind that downturn, and should we have hope for improvement in this coming season? Is this another reclamation project like Craig Kimbrel? The answer is an emphatic no, it's not. Helsley is the real deal, tune in to find out why! BlueSky Twitter YouTube Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Orioles writer for the Baltimore Sun Jacob Calvin Meyer joins the show to share his thoughts on the Orioles offseason so far and how much more he expects them to do.
Ed and Jeremy took some time from Monday's BBMS to discuss the O's reported signing of reliever Ryan Helsley to a 2-year deal. Some are saying that the Birds overpaid for a reliever who struggles to find the strike zone. Are the criticisms of Mike Elias' decision, and Helsley's skills, unfair?
Ed and Jeremy took some time from the final hour of Monday's BBMS to discuss what's next for the O's in the free agent market after signing Ryan Helsley. Will they target another arm or go the position player route?
The guys discuss the Orioles signing Ryan Helsley and where they stand on the move.
Me acabo de enterar acerca de la firma del que va a ser nuestro nuevo cerrador: Ryan Helsley, que fue campeón salvador en 2024 con 49 salvados en 53 ocasiones. Permitió ese año 3 HR en 66.1 con un WHIP de 1.10. En 2025 estuvo bien con los cardenales y al ser transferido a los Mets tuvo problemas pero en general tuvo un buen año. Ha firmado por dos años con los Orioles y podemos decir entonces que en el capítulo del cerrador el asunto está definido. Para cuando Bautista pueda regresar, creo que Helsley aún estará cerrando con los nuestros y tendríamos 2 cerradores: uno para el 8º y otro para el 9º. Un lujo... Señores, habemus cerrador!
The New York Mets and the Texas Rangers made a splashy deal on Sunday night that saw Brandon Nimmo and Marcus Semien trade places. Nimmo, who has been with the Mets organization since 2011, will head to Arlington, while the three-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glover and Silver Slugger winner Semien takes his defensive specialty to Flushing.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down this surprising trade that nobody saw coming and discuss which team benefits most from it. With the Mets shedding payroll by moving Nimmo's contract, how will this affect their pursuit of other superstars this offseason? Also, with Semien on the move, could this be the first of several notable names dealt by the Rangers?Later, Jake and Jordan talk about coveted Japanese free agent Tatsuya Imai and his remarks about wanting to join a team that doesn't have any other Japanese players, seemingly sending a slight toward the Los Angeles Dodgers. They then dig into MLB's new TV rights, the Colorado Rockies naming their new skipper and Ryan Helsley potentially being shopped as a starting pitcher, before making their picks for an early-week edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.1:36 – The Opener: Mets–Rangers trade21:30 – Nuclear Overreaction: Imai speaks up31:19 – Around the League: MLB's new TV rights41:21 – Rockies name new skipper; Helsley wants to start51:31 – The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Although Ryan Helsley had a rough beginning to his Mets tenure, Ryan has recently found himself in a good spot with 3 scoreless outings. He spoke with Pat McCarthy and discussed how he is feeling and how he has been able to adjust and find his confidence, allowing him to find consistent results again.
Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the fastest-growing etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This work identifies novel gene and lipid associations in human MASLD-driven HCC that may be exploited for therapeutic benefit. Methods: Human HCC tumor (n=8) and adjacent non-tumor samples (n=8) were obtained from the Biospecimen Procurement and Translational Pathology Shared Resource Facility at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center. All patients met cardiometabolic MASLD criteria and were negative for viral hepatitis. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was used for pathological determination of tumor and adjacent nontumor tissue. Lipids were extracted using a methyl-tert-butyl ether extraction method and subjected to lipidomics by the West Coast Metabolomics Center. RNA was isolated and used for bulk sequencing. Data were analyzed using paired nonparametric analyses via a Wilcoxon or Mann-Whitney test, as appropriate. Results: Histological analysis by H&E showed significant lipid vacuole accumulation in HCC tumors relative to nontumor tissue. Lipidomic analysis revealed significant increases in long-chain nonesterified monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs; C16:1, C18:1, C20:1) and MUFA-enriched phospholipids (PC30:1, PC32:1, PE32:1, and PC36:1) in tumors relative to nontumor tissue. No significant differences were observed in nonesterified polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs; C18:2, C20:4, and C22:6), PUFA-enriched phospholipids (C36:4, C38:4, C38:6, C40:6), or in fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs; C38:2, C38:4, C38:6). However, both MUFA- (C14:1, C18:1) and PUFA-enriched acylcarnitines (C18:2, C18:3) were collectively reduced in human tumors. Differential analysis of RNA sequencing revealed fatty acid oxidation genes (CPT1A, CPT2, ACADL, ACADM, ACADS, HADHA) were significantly reduced in tumor versus nontumor tissue. Further, genes involved in de novo lipogenesis were largely dysregulated (e.g. no differences in SREBF1 or FASN; increases in ACLY, ACACA, and SCD1; decreases in ACSL1) in tumor versus nontumor tissue. Conclusions: These results suggest human HCC tumors exhibit a reduced capacity to undergo mitochondrial β-oxidation resulting in accumulation of free and esterified MUFAs with concomitant reductions in MUFA-carnitines. Current studies are underway to determine the mechanisms by which impairment of hepatic MUFA catabolism via FAO promotes the development of HCC in mice.

The Mets took 2-of-3 in Detroit but left with a bad taste in their mouth with another bad bullpen performance by Helsley. This is what happens when starting pitching can't go five innings. They may ask Kodai Senga to go to the minors for a few starts but he would have to approve that. We also talked more about what type of Long Island crowd we're going to get at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. A guy calls in who has a business where he collects golf balls at Bethpage at night. Jerry returns for an update, but first he wonders how the volleyball girls on TV right now can afford to get to Bangkok. Jerry Jones was on Good Morning America talking about being a great salesman. Al Dukes is not happy with commercials on Red Zone this season. The Yankees lost in Houston and the home plate umpire was brutal. Helsley talked about his recent performances not being so great. In the final segment of the hour, Gio tells the tragic story of someone local who passed away.

Helsley had another rough outing in relief as the Mets lost to the Tigers.
We get NFL football tonight as the Cowboys play the Eagles. The Giants open with Washington and then play the Cowboys and Gio said they have to win one of those games as they can't start the season 0-2 with two losses in the division. The NFC East could be a top division if the Giants figure out how to get some wins. We wondered how soon Brian Daboll would try to get Jaxson Dart into games.

The Yankees 2025 ride continues on the same path. Disappointed but not surprised that Williams and Helsley failed again.
In a heated exchange, BT and Sal went head-to-head over who is the most untrustworthy pitcher in the Mets' bullpen. The debate centered on Ryan Helsley, who BT believes is an "unpitchable" train wreck and an absolute bust since being acquired by the Mets. Sal, however, argued that while Helsley has been bad, his high-velocity stuff and past success make him a more valuable project to fix than Kodai Senga, whom Sal would rather "banish" from the roster. Their fiery back-and-forth highlighted the Mets' desperate need for a reliable bullpen arm in a critical moment of the season.
In a heated segment, BT and Sal dissected the Yankees' latest disheartening loss, quickly moving past the umpire's mistakes to focus on the team's deeper issues: a defensive liability in Giancarlo Stanton and a struggling bullpen. The conversation then pivoted to a fiery debate about the Mets' pitching woes, with BT and Sal clashing over who is more of a liability: Ryan Helsley or Kodai Senga. The segment concluded with a lighthearted moment when Hoff revealed that the show's music had been a deliberate trap, catching BT off-guard and proving his co-host's earlier point about getting caught in a tough spot.

Hour 1: Tommy and Tiki are in this week, and the guys say there will be no magic carpet to come save the Mets this season, but the team is good enough to get the season back on track without the bells and whistles. The Little League Classic presented an odd concern for player safety. Is Ryan Helsley the new Devin Williams? Plus, Tommy is afraid of roller coasters.
BT dives into a variety of topics, beginning with a glowing review of Anthony Volpe's recent performance and resilience, claiming he's proving all his doubters wrong. He then shifts to the Mets, musing over the baffling "softness" of the team and questioning if Juan Soto is truly as young as he claims. Finally, he offers a bizarre but hilarious suggestion for Mets reliever Ryan Helsley, proposing a new, less-intense entrance song ("Disco Inferno") until he can perform to the level of his fiery "Hells Bells" walk-up music.
In this episode of the Boone Archives, Bret Boone welcomes on the 2024 Trevor Hoffman Award winner Ryan Helsley of the New York Mets to talk about winning the award, how he prepares for his bullpen appearances, why All-Star experiences are something to cherish and more.

Carlos Mendoza praised the Mets' trade deadline additions, highlighting bullpen upgrades Ryan Helsley and Taylor Rogers along with new center fielder Cedric Mullins. Mendoza emphasized Mullins' speed, defensive instincts, and baseball IQ, noting that his value extends beyond the box score. He addressed how Mullins' arrival shifts playing time for Jeff McNeil, Tyrone Taylor, and the younger infielders, while stressing that versatility and competition will remain key. Mendoza confirmed Edwin Díaz remains the closer but Helsley will pitch in high-leverage spots. He also outlined bullpen flexibility, with Garcia and Garrett available for multi-inning work. Injury updates included Francisco Alvarez being cleared to return and Soto ready to play. Taylor Rogers reflected on leaving San Francisco after 13 years and adjusting to his first midseason trade, stressing that he aims to fit into a strong bullpen without overcomplicating his role. Helsley expressed excitement to join a contender, praising the Mets' depth and confirming he's ready to pitch in any inning. Mullins said he's eager to bring speed, defense, and balanced offense, crediting adjustments in his approach this season for improved production against left-handed pitching.
