And the 34th overall pick, which is slightly better than the draft pick the Brewers would get if they get Burnes through the season and offered him a QO Burnes Bradish Grayson Means Kremer That’s a damn good staff. It also pushes Tyler Wells into the bullpen, where he’s excelled before. If Bradish and Rodriguez come close to their dominant second half performances last year, this is a scary rotation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagahide13 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Correct me if I'm wrong but that seems like a really bad trade for the Brewers. This feels like a totally underwhelming deadline deal. How'd they not do better? I guess they knew they couldn't re-sign him, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampfgeist Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I didn't expect the moon for a player the Crew could never re-sign, but I also didn't expect to be underwhelmed. Really don't understand the move after the Hoskins signing. Sounds better when I say #6, #7 prospects in Orioles system and #34 pick but don't dig into the players. Suddenly I'm on Adames watch...

Well to be fair they have a great system.. there’s no other team I’d want him to go to then the os. They deserve him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 This appears to be one of the rare win/win deals to me. O's obviously do exactly what they needed to do, by consolidating non-elite prospect talent into a really nice piece for their big league club. I don't think the Brewers got a star, but Adames is on his way out and they don't have any legit starting quality SS coming through their ranks. Ortiz can be that guy for awhile. Hall is a complete lottery ticket but he does have arm talent, and the pick is obviously more valuable than the one the Brewers would get after Burnes signed elsewhere next offseason. Good move by both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good move by both teams. Not sure I’d call Hall a complete lottery ticket. I think he’s got one of the best floors around to be a dominant reliever- especially going to an organization that developed those players well. Orioles still believed in him as a starter, and he was approaching this off-season with that in mind. But you are correct, it’s a win/win for both teams. I’ve seen a lot of fan bases say that the deal was light, just based on prospect rankings, but the value of those guys in the Orioles system would have them ranked higher for fan bases of those other teams. Just because the Brewers got the “6th and 7th ranked prospects” doesn’t take away that they’re ranked higher on just about every other team’s board. Also, the Brewers clearly valued both of them being MLB-ready, and not many teams would have two players like that ready to ship off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
