The Orioles have made the big splash move for the starting rotation that we have been waiting for all offseason. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported on Thursday night that the team has completed a deal to acquire 2021 NL Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes from the Brewers. The team announced the trade around 8:45pm. It’s a done deal.
Going to Milwaukee in the deal are shortstop prospect Joey Ortiz and lefty pitching prospect DL Hall. In addition, the Brewers will receive the Competitive Balance Round A pick from the O’s for this year’s draft.
Pardon my French for a moment, but: HOLY SHIT!
