Even despite his injuries, Bundy is still lauded as pitching prospect. He's remained ranked as a consensus top 100 prospect while battling his various ailments and is currently ranked as Baltimore's number two prospect by MLB Pipeline. His overall grade according to MLB Pipeline is still a 55 and his future value according to Fangraphs is 60. When he is on the mound he features good control and throws four above-average offerings, three of which are said to have plus or better potential. Eric Longenhagen of ESPN had the chance to scout his short AFL stint and noted that Dylan showed flashes of his old self and should still have at least mid-rotation potential. The only thing that is truly holding him back is his health.

Attempting to acquire Dylan Bundy would be a significant risk given his injury history, but I think it's one the Brewers and their award-winning medical staff could afford to take while they are in a transitional phase. With their current situation and roster construction the club would be able to ease him back into action out of the bullpen and not worry about his results or rust, and the upside could be enormous. He has six seasons of club control remaining despite being out of options, and he could still become a very effective major league starter. Hell, maybe the Brewers could even get lucky and find that there's an "ace" still in there that was just waiting for a change of scenery.

A "change of scenery" for Bundy is simply being on a pitching mound and not on an exam room table.

So, we could add Khris Davis. Oh my.

What if you do that and resign Chris Davis? Too much confusion...

We did have the Robinson Brothers at one time. Why not the Davis Brothers?

Not to mention the Ripken brothers.

Do we still have both of the Bundy boys or is Bobby gone?

We like brothers, we had the Schoop brothers and the Britton boys.

I wouldn't be opposed to trading Bundy for a nice package. I'd expect a good haul and wouldn't trade him for less. One more injury this Spring and the prospect value he has left will be diminished greatly.

Joseph brothers.

[srock]

Wasn't Joe Flacco's brother in the organization for a moment as well?

For the record, I can't imagine any team giving enough to make the Orioles want to abandon Bundy at this point.

Storm and Glenn?

Storm and Glenn?

True, and they were raised together as brothers.

[Larry18]

They could have picked up Rex Brothers but opted for L.J. Thus selecting Hoes before Bros.

[Redskins Rick]

This is just a dude speculating. No actual rumor here, just to be clear.

True,

With Bundy being shut down, yet again, I really wonder how much interest there is in him at this time.
