Baumann signed a minor-league deal with the Mets on Wednesday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baumann logged a 4.20 ERA, 1.93 WHIP, 19:12 K:BB and 53.7 percent groundball rate in 15 innings as a reliever in NPB last year. Prior to heading to Japan for one year, the 30-year-old righty registered a 4.95 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 147 strikeouts in 167.1 MLB innings, almost exclusively as a reliever. Baumann's poor control (16 percent walk rate in Japan) would likely limit him to low-leverage relief work if he earns a call-up in 2026.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Marlins activated Baumann from the paternity list Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baumann missed the series earlier this week against the Twins while welcoming a new addition to the family but will be back in the bullpen for the Marlins' final series 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.

The Marlins placed Baumann on the paternity list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Marlins claimed Baumann off waivers Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

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 year, but he has a 5.24 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 40:21 K:BB across 44.2 frames this season.

The Angels designated Baumann for assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Baumann was designated for assignment by the Giants on July 27 but was scooped up via trade by the Halos shortly after. 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.

The Angels acquired Baumann from the Giants on Tuesday in exchange for cash, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Giants designated Baumann for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Baumann was traded to the Giants in exchange for cash considerations Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baumann was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Friday, and he will now head to San Francisco. The right-handed reliever has appeared in 35 games with the Orioles and Mariners this season, producing a 4.41 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with 32 strikeouts over 34.2 innings.

The Mariners designated Baumann for assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

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 teams looking to add right-handed depth to its bullpen.
