The Dodgers’ acquisition of Tyler Glasnow from the Tampa Bay Rays in December figured to put a wrap on blockbuster offseason trades for starting pitchers.
It did – until Thursday.
The Baltimore Orioles and Milwaukee Brewers agree to a trade sending former Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes to Baltimore:
Earlier this offseason, the Dodgers were reportedly very interested in landing the 29-year-old right-hander. However, reports started coming out that Milwaukee would likely keep Burnes heading into the new season.
Now, instead of heading to Los Angeles, Burnes joins a very young core of players in Baltimore. Baltimore won 101 games last year with the efforts of young stars Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson.
The Orioles are capitalizing on this early success by bringing in one of the game’s premier pitchers. This puts Baltimore squarely in the American League Pennant conversation.
