The Baltimore Orioles have acquired Cy Young ace Corbin Burns, 30, in a trade.
“Heading into spring training, Baltimore has completed a blockbuster trade to acquire right-hander Corbin Burns from Milwaukee,” MLB.com, the official site of Major League Baseball, reported on Tuesday.
Burns is an ace pitcher with a 45-27 record and 3.26 ERA in 167 career major league games (709 1/3 innings). He won the National League Cy Young Award in 2021 and was named an All-Star for the third straight year last year after going 10-8 with a 3.39 ERA in 32 games (193⅔ innings). Despite his consistent performance as Milwaukee’s ace, he was only one year away from free agency, and the Brewers ultimately decided to trade Burns before he became a free agent.
“In exchange for Burns, 온라인카지노 Milwaukee will receive infielder Joey Otis (MLB.com’s No. 6 Baltimore prospect), left-hander DL Hall and a balanced-round A pick (No. 34) in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft,” MLB.com explained.
Ortiz joined the Orioles as a fourth-round pick in the 2019 First-Year Player Draft.
In 316 career minor league games (1219-for-348), he batted .806 with 33 home runs, 177 RBI, 205 runs scored, 25 doubles and an OPS of .806. Last year, he was a bit of a disappointment in his major league debut, batting 2-for-15 (7-for-33) with four doubles, four RBIs and a .448 OPS in 15 games. As MLB.com put it, “Ortiz has the potential to be one of the best defensive players in the majors with his ability to play multiple positions in the infield.”
Hall has long been touted as Baltimore’s top prospect. He made his major league debut in 2022 and went 3-0 with a 3.26 ERA in 18 games (19 1/3 innings) last year. According to MLB.com, “Hall was selected by Baltimore with the 21st overall pick in the 2017 First-Year Player Draft. He showed promise in 2023, posting a 28.4 percent strikeout rate.”
The Orioles went 101-61 last year for a .623 winning percentage, good for first in the American League and second in the majors. 바카라사이트 순위 In the postseason, the Orioles reached the American League Division Series before falling short in a three-game sweep to Texas.
Recognizing the need for an ace, Baltimore acquired Burns to make a run at a World Series title. The Orioles have won seven American League championships and three World Series titles. Their last title came 41 years ago in 1983. The Orioles defeated the Phillies four games to one to win the title.
