Arguably, the biggest trade in\u00a0Baltimore Orioles\u00a0history came on February 1, 2024, when they acquired 2021 NL Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for prospects DL Hall, Joey Ortiz, and the 34th pick in the 2024 MLB draft, which ended up being University of Tennessee first baseman Blake Burke.<\/p>\n

This was certainly the biggest trade of Mike Elias’ Orioles tenure, and showed that he was willing to do whatever it took to turn Baltimore into World Series contenders.<\/p>\n

And Burnes made the move look brilliant for the Orioles during the 2024 regular season, as he posted a 15-9 record with a 2.92 ERA and 181 strikeouts across 194.1 innings pitched.<\/p>\n

While Burnes only got to make one postseason start for the Orioles, he certainly wasn’t the reason they couldn’t make it past the Kansas City Royals, as he threw 8 innings and gave up just 1 earned run in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card series, which Baltimore lost 1-0.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Burnes became a free agent after the 2024 season and signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n

And the Orioles felt his absence in 2025, as their starting rotation had a mediocre 4.65 collective ERA, which put them at No. 22 in MLB.<\/p>\n

Orioles Predicted to Make Trade With Brewers<\/h2>\n

Elias has made it clear that he intends to bolster Baltimore’s rotation this winter. And in\u00a0a November 21 article, Anthony Castrovince of\u00a0MLB.com\u00a0predicted that he’d do so by making another deal with Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

“After restocking the farm system with a series of summer swaps, it might be more realistic to see the O\u2019s swing a deal with a Milwaukee team that\u2019s always down to deal and somehow grows pitching on trees,” Castrovince wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I kinda like the idea of the Orioles acquiring\u00a0Freddy Peralta\u00a0with a package that includes Major League-ready\u00a0outfield prospect Dylan Beavers, whose left-handed swing has been compared to that of … Christian Yelich,” he added. “Anyway, I\u2019m sure these two clubs can figure something out. They\u2019ve done it before, after all.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
