Orioles close to acquiring Corbin Burnes (Update: Acquired for Joey Ortiz and DL Hall)

[yark14]

Now our billionaire owners need to make this trade even better by extending Burnes.

Sounds like Dillon Tate looks great. Can’t forget the addition of his arm in the pen!

Hope Sig isn’t too pissed that we traded two of the prospects and draft pick.

That would be something if he comes back strong.

Surprised they didn’t swap out Norby for the 34th pick. There is no place to play him and repeating AAA for 3 years in a row- will really sour him.

Unless, he’s another chess piece for bullpen help.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see another trade. The Orioles still have an excess of player talent after this deal.

You did.  Build a bridge and get over yourself lol. 

I might not have built a bridge, but unlike you I haven't completed the joke.

Gunnar 3rd

Holliday SS

Westburg 2nd 

Opens it up. Then see what Mayo does at start of year in AAA.

I think Kjerstad, Norby, McDermott, etc could still get Cease

Yep, you're right. I saw 2025 but it meant at the start of 2025. 

Either way, I like the move. Burnes is a legitimate ace and the Orioles didn't hurt their 2024 team much. They can go and sign Chapman to replace Hall if they want to.

Chapman signed a 1-year deal with Pittsburgh.  He would bring bad chemistry to the O's anyway.

Wouldn’t it be:

Gunnar SS

Holliday 2B

Westburg 3B

Our OF is aging to an extent. Cowser and Kjerstad fit there. Basallo won’t be here for a little while. 

I think next domino is what position Mayo winds up at.

So has Elias ascended into some higher level of GM being now that he’s swung a significant trade? I think he’s opened his third eye or something. 

His whispering eye, maybe?

Chapman signed with the Pirates.

Dammit.. I missed that too... Well, Perez and Coulombe will still be in the pen. I don't think Elias is done now that the gloves have been taken off.

Whatever dreams Getz and the White Sox had of milking the Orioles farm system by trading Cease have gone up in smoke tonight. They can still get Cease, but they will need to readjust their expectations.
