Looking At Baumann

Baumann was picked in the 3rd round of the 2017 MLB Draft.

Following Baltimore, Baumann also spent time with the Seattle Mariners, Miami Marlins, Los Angeles Angels and San Francisco Giants over four total seasons.
He last pitched in an MLB game during the 2024 season.
It will be interesting to see if another team adds the 30-year-old before the end of the 2026 season.
