Lakins, 26, will see his former team, the Red Sox, right away in 2020. The Red Sox drafted him in the sixth round in 2013, and he made his big-league debut on April 23, 2019, in Boston. Lakins made 16 appearances last season as a rookie, posting a 3.86 ERA.

The Red Sox traded Lakins to the Cubs in January, and then the Orioles selected Lakins off waivers.
