Overview
- Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reported the agreement, which multiple outlets echoed on December 26.
- Baker is expected to begin 2026 at Triple-A Reno if the contract lacks an opt-out.
- He brings substantial Triple-A power, with 33 homers in 2023 and 32 in 2024 for Memphis, then eight in 33 games for Oklahoma City late in 2025.
- His major-league experience is limited to 73 games with four home runs across stints with St. Louis.
- Arizona could consider him as a right-handed complement to lefty first baseman Pavin Smith given the club’s thin internal depth at the position.
