Heading to Houston
Baez signed a two-year deal with the Astros on Wednesday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander has been a staple in the Dodgers bullpen since making his big-league debut in 2014, but he'll now be continuing his career with the Astros. Baez had a 3.18 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB over 17 innings during 2020, which is in line with his career 3.03 ERA and 1.10 WHIP figures. The 32-year-old had 100 holds during his time with Los Angeles, and he could serve as a bridge to closer Ryan Pressly for Houston.

Baez has been a staple in the Dodgers' bullpen since his debut in 2015, and nothing changed in 2019 as the right-hander paced the team with 71 appearances and 25 holds while posting a 3.10 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 69.2 innings. He didn't whiff more than a batter per inning (8.9 K/9) for the first time since his rookie season, though he posted the second-best swinging strike rate of his career (15.5%). Most of Baez's success can be attributed to his ability to limit hard contact, as his 2.8 Barrel% and 26.6 Hard Hit% led to a .213 BABIP and 0.8 HR/9. He also didn't hurt himself with free passes, evidenced by his unremarkable 3.0 BB/9. While Baez finally picked up his first career save in 2019, he was also charged with six blown opportunities while five other Dodgers recorded at least one save. As such, he seems unlikely to see more than the occasional save chance even if an opening in the ninth inning arises.
