There has to be more, right? That's not much at all for Burnes. If that's it, I am *very* happy about this trade.

E: For not O's fans, Ortiz is a good SS prospect but is blocked by Holliday and Westburg up the middle, and Hall is a fantastic lefty who can't stay healthy enough to stick in the rotation. Gonna miss his arm in the back of the bullpen though.

Even if they can't, they look real good this year.

Yeah not hopeful they’ll extend Burnes, but very hyped on this trade. Ortiz was always going to get traded with Gunnar and Holliday in front of him.

Full trade is apparently Ortiz, Hall, and the #34 pick this year for Burnes.

It's not without precedent, see Strasburg. If the new owners want to make a big splash I'm sure they could name a price that would satisfy Boras.

Seems like a good deal for the Orioles. They didn't give up one of the big prospects here. Hall has been up and down a lot and it's unclear if he will be a permanent starter. I assume Milwaukee will be using him as one this year though.

This improves the O's WS odds and also makes the Brewers worse this year, win-win from my perspective. :cheers:

wowww they actually did something, I really thought they were going to just roll with what they had until maybe the trade deadline.

A little surprised they dealt Hall, but Joey Ortiz needed to go somewhere he wouldn't be hopelessly blocked so I'm happy for him

And Ortiz gives them a replacement for Adames.

I like this timeline where the Orioles are ascendent in the NL East. Finally somebody to root for in that division.

Wow, that was a better trade than I ever expected for the O’s. I didn’t even know Burnes was still on the table. What a week for Baltimore.

I really hope the new ownership is more progressive about streaming. I haven't watched an Orioles game since 2015. I'd easily drop $10 or more per month to stream MASN.

Maybe there was some other legal red tape, but it just didn't seem like the Orioles take streaming seriously.

I'm not even sure Ortiz was one of their top 10 prospects at this point

He was pretty superfluous with all of those other infielders they have already

Ortiz never felt like an actual future Oriole to me, he always seemed like a trade piece waiting to happen

which isn't to say he was bad, they just have a glut of middle infield types

Only if MASN brings back Gary Thorne.
