Baltimore’s bullpen teardown produced an unexpected revival. Since September began, a waiver-wire crew has posted MLB’s best 1.25 ERA, masking the season-long struggles of the original relief group. This cast—Wolfram, Dubin, Strowd, Enns, Garcia, Suárez, Akin, Cano—has stabilized late innings, while call-ups like Jeremiah Jackson, Dylan Beavers, Emmanuel Rivera, and Samuel Basallo spark clutch offense. Sustainability and front-office bets loom large.
