Rays acquired OFs Austin Overn and Slater de Brun, C Caden Bodine, RHP Michael Forret and a Competitive Balance Round A pick from the Orioles for RHP Shane Baz.

Overn, 22, has drawn comparisons to outfielder Jake Mangum, who the Rays are trading away as part of a three-team deal with the Pirates on Friday. A third-round selection from the 2024 draft, Overn slashed .249/.355/.399 with 13 homers, 43 RBI, a blazing 64 stolen bases (in 72 attempts) and a 130/62 K/BB ratio over 477 plate appearances between High-A Aberdeen and Double-A Chesapeake in 2025.

Shane Baz

TB Starting Pitcher #11
ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the Orioles have agreed to acquire starter Shane Baz from the Rays.

In return, the Rays will receive a package of minor league players that includes outfielders Slater de Brun and Austin Overn, catcher Caden Bodine and right-hander Michael Forret as well as a Competitive Balance Round A pick. The deal is still pending medicals. Baz posted a disappointing 4.87 ERA over 166 1/3 innings in 2025 despite a strong 24.8 strikeout rate. He represents a major upgrade to the Orioles’ rotation mix.
